Qantas has a crisis of perception that became worse overnight when a faulty fuel valve caused one of its aged Rolls-Royce-powered Boeing 747-400s to make a precautionary landing in Fiji.
Boeing 747 400
Qantas jet flies on, never mind the leaks
The dirt on Qantas inter-city services looks like being dished up in living colour by a Channel Seven report, writes Ben Sandilands.

Near miss reveals serious Qantas management flaws
