Gives some certainty to both Alliance and Qantas on the ~20% QF ownership stake now staying - with the ACCC investigation now concluded with no findings. Both airlines can move forward now.
Also gives more clarity to Bain/VA2 potentially needing another arrangement rather than paying QF/Alliance for its contract flying.
Link’s prop service in Canberra was a example of this with, with VA2 picking Link over Alliance for that route which makes sense. Does this mean more cooperation with Link moving forward?
I wonder if this might open up some potential for future Rex/VA2 conversations as well.
As many AFF members have suggested this partnership ‘seems’ logical in many ways with VA2 unable to penetrate many regional routes competitively in their current model, and Rexy dropping tens of millions trying to get their jet ops working on old Virgin planes… match made in heaven to take on QF/Alliance?

A three-year-long competition probe into Qantas’ 19.9 per cent stake in wet-lease operator Alliance Aviation has finally ended without any action against either company.
Alliance told shareholders on Tuesday that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission had advised it that the investigation, which started in February 2019, had concluded with no action.
The decision will come as a relief to both Alliance and Qantas as the long investigation had frustrated both parties, potentially delaying future projects.
Alliance operates mainly as a fly-in, fly-out operator and wet-leasing client for Qantas.
