Qantas lends a helping hand
The exchange has been set up as part of the response to the devastating earthquake and Cantab students have been shuttled over the Tasman by Qantas in both a chartered Boeing 747 and on various commercial flights. The University of Adelaide has offered the students billeting and also purpose-built apartment accommodation.
The University of Canterbury was effusive in its praise of Qantas, stating “Qantas provided a very reasonable price for the Boeing 747 charter flight and has also accommodated additional students on commercial flights this week. Such assistance is very much appreciated”. Everyone loves a reasonable price after all.
