Global Airways

During a non-advertised crew training flight to Toronto - on which a lucky few got the chance to try out service on the Global Airways A340-500 before it began service to Sydney - Global Airways CEO Daniel Clark was asked about his opinion on the opening of a competing route by OASIS Air. His response: "Well look, on one hand I think competition is always a good thing, and can only push everyone involved to become better. However, the current offer by OASIS cannot really be considered competition. We have two A340s that will be flying the route six times a week, and don't worry, it'll be seven eventually. The twice-weekly service by OASIS isn't as convenient, obviously. Plus, look at the cabin config they've got - while I have a lot of respect for Etihad, picking up leftovers from other airlines isn't really our thing here at Global Airways. As you can see, we've fully redone the interior, and its a very low-density setup we've got, almost 25% fewer seats in economy, which is a huge comfort boost on nineteen, twenty hour flights. Honestly, I am sure that Global Airways will consistently be the option customers choose with the playing field as tilted as it is."

In response to a question from an NBC reported after arrival in John F Kennedy International Airport, Daniel Clark also remarked that a codeshare with Air Australia is just rumor and speculation at this time.
