The ACCC is proposing to re-authorise the alliance between Qantas Airways Limited (ASX: QAN) and American Airlines Inc. for a further five years.
“The ACCC considers the public benefits from this alliance are likely to continue under this re-authorisation,” ACCC Commissioner Sarah Court said.
“Passengers travelling on Trans-Pacific routes could benefit through enhanced products and services, including a greater likelihood of increased capacity and new routes; increased connectivity and improved schedule choice. Loyalty program benefits and improved lounge access, cost savings and efficiencies are also likely to be a result.”
The ACCC considers that the extent to which these public benefits are likely to be realised depends on the rate of recovery in demand for Trans-Pacific services following the COVID-19 pandemic. The greater the demand for these services, the greater the public benefit that is likely to be realised.
