The airline group, comprising Jetstar and Qantas, said unit revenues for its domestic network was expected to grow at 3% in the six months to December 31, at the lower end of its 3-5% growth forecast issued in February. Domestic capacity forecasts were unchanged at 2% and 7% for Qantas and Jetstar, respectively. "We are adjusting domestic capacity in the second half to match the demand profile we are seeing," Qantas Group CEO, Vanessa Hudson, told shareholders at the company’s annual general meeting in Brisbane on Friday.

Group International capacity is now tipped to grow 5% in the first half of 2025/26, down from 11% previously.
