  "summary": "Qantas has reported its lowest pre-tax profits in four years, at $2.06bn. The airline's fuel costs increased by $610m due to the US war on Iran.\n\nThe airline also announced plans to phase out its Airbus A380 models as it prepares to add new planes to its fleet.\n\nQantas introduced a new carry-on luggage charge on Jetstar, saying it is offering customers 'choice', but declined to predict the impact on revenue or ticket sales.",
