Bali tragedy

Tactic

Have not seen the news yet but this is an aritcle along the lines of what I heard earlier.

Qantas could go for being a hera to a villian very quickly if they are not careful

SYDNEY, Oct 14 AAP - Qantas Airways Ltd today stepped up its
operation to fly home Australians injured in the Bali bomb blast
and other tourists wanting to flee the Indonesian island.
Two extra Qantas flights from Bali, expected to be carrying
passengers injured in the nightclub blasts, will touch down in
Sydney tonight.
The extra flights, scheduled to land in Sydney at 8.20pm and
9.30pm (AEST), would bring the total of Qantas services to arrive
in Sydney today to five, after three arrived earlier this morning,
a Qantas spokesman said.
He said all five, which included four extra flights in addition
to the single, regular morning service, had a total of 1,400 seats.
All were expected to be full.
Each flight would carry extra Qantas staff to help those who
have been working in the Denpasar airport as well as medical staff,
including doctors and nurses.
The spokesman also confirmed that any travellers who hold a
return Qantas ticket to Bali will be able to board any Qantas
flight.
Qantas is also offering a special $US250 ($A458) one way fare
from Bali to Sydney for those who may not hold a Qantas ticket, he
said.
"There are people who live in there (Bali) or there may be
people who are with other airlines who wish to come to Sydney," the
spokesman said.
"If all the planes were full there would be 1,400 passengers."
He said 3,000 Qantas customers were scheduled to be flying to
and from Bali over the next week but that a number of these people
could be Bali-bound travellers who have changed their plans because
of the terrorist incident.
"We will send over extra hands so that they can have a rest ...
as well as doctors and medical staff who just volunteer in these
circumstances," the spokesman said.
Each week Qantas schedules 13 return flights to Bali, including
four from Sydney, Perth and Darwin and one to Melbourne.
In addition to tomorrow's regular flights from Bali, which
include planes set to land at 8am (AEST) in Sydney and at 4.30am
(local time) in Darwin, there will be an extra Perth service
arriving at 5.20am (local time).
The spokesman said the rescheduling of planes to accommodate
those returning from Bali may cause minor disruption to other
Qantas flights.
"We are going to do everything we need to get the aircrafts
there so we can get people back," he said.
