3 Determination for renewal of Determination [2004] IASC 106
allocating capacity on the Philippines route to Qantas ([2008]
IASC 123)​

3.1 The Commission makes a determination in favour of Qantas, allocating 129
seats per week of capacity in each direction on the Philippines route under the Australia
– Philippines air services arrangements.
3.2 The determination is for five years from 6 December 2009.
3.3 The determination is subject to the following conditions:​

•​

Qantas is required to fully utilise the capacity;​

•​

only Qantas or another Australian carrier which is a wholly owned​

subsidiary of Qantas is permitted to utilise the capacity;


I think this is a forgone conclusion.
