Qantas announces intention to acquire the remaining 80% of Alliance (ASX:AQZ)

I thought the ACCC wasn't particularly impressed the first time when they acquired 20%? I can't see how this will fly (hah!), also considering VA uses some of their planes, don't they?

All seems kinds of weird as well if they've signalled their intention to buy the A220 family of aircraft but will inherit all the Fokker and Embraer aircraft that Alliance has.
 
No doubt those hundreds of millions QF is saving by outsourcing their ground staff helped make this possible (either that or the bailout received by the government). Will the ACCC or competition authorities intervene? I doubt it!

There were zero findings or issues raised by the ACCC.

Now whether they will be allowed to take full control is another thing entirely.

It makes complete sense from a Qantas point of view.
 
Of course this will go through without a hitch or a concern from the government (whoever wins). Unfortunately.

The bribes investment in the Chairman’s Club certainly provides a good return.

I don't think ACCC are allowed to have Chairmans Club.
 
I dont imagine the big FIFO customers will be too happy at the prospect
 
Good luck, I can't see this getting past the regulators even with the cosy government lobby that Qantas operates in Canberra.
