Qantas is a household name to most Australians and is the country’s flagship airline. Qantas experienced a challenging period up to the first half of 2014 when its credit rating was downgraded to below investment grade. However, since then the airline has significantly turned around its business. The 1H15 result saw a return to profitability with an underlying profit before tax of $367m for 1H15, up from a $252m loss in 1H14. Further, the result overshot its own guidance for the half year. The company has highlighted than an improvement in credit metrics is a priority and is targeting a $1bn debt reduction by the end of FY15.
