OzJet

There Once Was An Oz Jet Company Called OzJet

It doesn't really take much imagination to come up with the name OzJet for a budget airline in Australia. But when we're talking low cost carriers, we don't care so much about the name--it's all in the price. And OzJet is having a launch party tonight to kick off some more competition in the Australasian market.

In fact, OzJet has been around for a while, operating some charter flights and starting up some small-time routes like Perth to Derby in Western Australia. But the big step starts right now, with cheap flights from Sydney and Brisbane to Palmerston North on the north island of New Zealand. One-way flights are selling for A$199 (US$185) including all international taxes.

It seems that OzJet will expand to other Australasian routes, and they're not shy of doing a bit of marketing--skywriting included. We just hope the actual planes used to carry passengers are not involved in writing "OzJet" in the sky.
