It was then bought by private equity firm Bain Capital for $3.5 billion.

Qatar Airways then bought a 25 per cent stake in the airline, in February this year.

Today, 30 per cent of the company was floated on the stock exchange, giving public investors a chance to get on board.

The listing marks the biggest IPO of the year, and today, Emerson, was celebrating with a sale on flights.

That includes $49 one way flights from Sydney to Ballina, $89 flights from Melbourne to the Gold Coast, and $219 tickets from Brisbane to Perth.
