In what appears to be a very strange decision, the ACCC [Australian Competition and Consumer Commission] has granted interim authorisation for increased cooperation between Virgin Australia and Alliance Airlines, with Alliance and Virgin’s proposed activity covering around 40 regional and two short-haul international routes, upon which it appears QANATS or its subsidiaries also operate

Virgin Australia and Alliance Airlines have also said they will now look at re-establishing a number of regional routes which were suspended or withdrawn in response to COVID-19, with a Virgin Australia spokesman telling media, ““As a leading Australian airline, we recognise our role in providing heartland communities and businesses in regional Australia with choice and convenience and through this initiative we’ll be able to further cooperate with Alliance on new destinations and travel arrangements for customers.”

I don’t get it, do you?
