"Today's result comes from investing in areas that provide margin growth and a network strategy that makes sure we have the right aircraft on the right route  " chief executive Alan Joyce  said.
On the international front  however   Mr Joyce  said the firm had faced more seats in the market together with rising fuel costs.
But Qantas International "had largely held its own  with a 6% decline in profit and a slight rise in unit revenue "  he  said.
