DALLAS — The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has granted clearance for Qatar Airways (QR) to enter into a strategic alliance with Virgin Australia (VA), signaling a seismic reconfiguration of the international aviation marketplace, atleast in Australia, according to VA.
The green light paves the way for VA’s return to long-haul international flying through a wet-lease arrangement, with 28 weekly flights to Doha set to commence in mid-2025.
