Never-on-time airline': Aussie golf great Greg Norman takes swing at Qantas

Australian golf great Greg Norman has publicly criticized Qantas after a delayed Sydney-to-Dallas trip, calling the airline the “never on-time” carrier and suggesting it’s outdated and unreliable. Norman, a long-time Qantas ambassador, posted the complaint on Instagram, referencing a roughly three-hour delay departing Sydney and an additional hour to retrieve a bag in Dallas. He questioned whether “profit” has been prioritized over “customer caring, reputation and service,” and said Qantas no longer ranks among the world’s top three airlines. He also cited lack of Wi-Fi on long-haul flights as a key grievance, while noting ground staff were “excellent.” A Qantas spokesperson said the Saturday flight was delayed departing Sydney while engineers fixed a fueling issue, without addressing Norman’s other concerns. Norman indicated he was looking to fly with another airline, mentioning Emirates. The article also briefly pivots to unrelated Australian TV news about renovations for The Block.
