Qatar Airways to acquire 25% of Virgin Australia

Yep, that’s what mine said. Very coincidental that they sent it the day before a decision is expected. I’d be fairly confident that they already knew the answer before firing them off
But a good way to p-off a regulator is to take a decision for granted before it announces it.

Seems like it’s been approved, Velocity email re the ‘breakup’ with Etihad sent this evening, and apparently Virgin has scheduled a Town Hall with its staff tomorrow lunchtime.
I read that email as a “saving face” notification off the back of EY being proactive. “It’s not me, it’s you” announcement. Nothing more.
