Thank you

I'm not going to take sides here, but this is an argument that has occurred before with airlines having the same or similar names. What I suggest you do is get over it. It's actuallly competitive, NZAviation, not anti-competitive.
Let's also not debate who is a "wayward operator".
I honestly think that JapanTitan had no knowledge of your airlines, or did not see an issue, when we was opening his company.

Thank you WTAWorld,Competitive we are not anticompetitive.

nzaviation Don't you remember telling JapanTitan this in you new look check in page so i don't see why you are complaining.


You are welcome to recommence and begin as a < Qantas xxxx > somewhere. And you would be welcome to Join Qantas Australia, Qantas New Zealand, Qantas Pacific and Alpha Airlines (based in Indonesia) in the Qantas Group alliance.

If you do not wish to establish an extension of the Qantas name you are welcome to simply join the group anyway. It will mean you will be protected by the might of the two main Qantas Group members. Qantas Australia and Alpha Airlines.

Thank you and happy flying.

Qantas Europe Has left the Qantas group and Joined the Virgin Blue network so yes we a affiliated with Qantas Europe and no way affiliated with Qantas Australia or any of other smaller airlines.

We are pleased to announce the latest member to Join the Virgin Blue group Qantas Link.

Pacific Blue and Qantas Link have won approval from Transport Minister Steven Joyce to cooperate on routes across the Tasman Sea, Australia and New Zealand.

The decision follows approval being granted by Australia's antitrust regulator this month, reversing its preliminary view, after the two airlines gave guarantees on growth in capacity.

Joyce was also swayed by their commitment to maintain passenger numbers on the Tasman, according to his statement.

The two airlines will code share on Tasman and connecting domestic flights and offer reciprocal frequent flyer and lounge access agreements. Their alliance was in response to Air New Zealand holdings two-airline strategy where its low-fare Budget Airline Qantas unit operates domestically in New Zealand and links to longer-haul flights on its parent.

Shares of Pacific Blue 2.7 per cent to $2.50 on the NZX and Qantas Link rose 1.1 per cent to 45.5 Australian cents on the ASX.

Joyce said other airlines on the Tasman "will continue to provide strong competition for the alliance on most routes within and between both Australia and New Zealand."

He authorised the alliance for a period of three years and said the time limit "will place a strong incentive on the two airlines to operate in a competitive manner."



"The Minister has recognised the benefits and value created for consumers by the alliance," said airline chief executive Chris Fernandez.

"I'm pleased that formal approval has been given, which combined with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's approval last week enables us to implement the alliance and deliver benefits to customers.

"Qantas Link and Pacific Blue will now form a team to ensure we move ahead quickly with bringing the alliance to life over the coming months. We look forward to being able to connect our customers between all Australian cities served by Virgin Blue and all towns and cities where we operate in New Zealand."
