Satisfaction with Domestic Airlines used in last 12 months


Source: Roy Morgan Single Source, July 2009 – October 2010. Total using domestic airline in last 12 months n=7,647. N.B. ‘Total Industry’ average also includes other domestic airlines not shown. “% satisfied” is the proportion of all customers who are “Very” or “Fairly” satisfied with that Airline (on a five point scale).


Jane Ianniello, Roy Morgan Research International Director of Tourism, Travel & Leisure, says:

“Although Qantas has maintained its relatively high customer satisfaction for October, it remains to be seen whether the recent highly publicised safety incidents will impact its future ratings of satisfaction and consideration.  Qantas has historically been synonymous with air safety but there is now a risk the Qantas brand image will be tarnished.”
