QF said that although it believes that immunised international alliances should be encouraged “given the antiquated bilateral regulatory regime under which international airlines are forced to operate,” it is also very concerned that the alliance’s “widespread price coordination” may extend to lucrative Australia- Europe routes. In its submission on the Virgin/ Etihad pact filed last Thu, QF General Counsel Brett Johnson said: “The consequences of such coordination should be fully analysed before the Applicants begin any cooperation.” He said that benefits cited by Virgin Blue and Etihad which include strengthening EY’s “ability to compete in travel between Australia and the Middle East and beyond” represent a significant change to the dynamics of the relevant markets “which would not be easily corrected if final authorisation was denied”. Etihad and Virgin Blue have urged the ACCC to provide a quick ruling - by last Fri in fact - with an indicative ACCC timeline showing that the Commission intends to make a decision on interim authorisation this month, before a draft determination in Nov or Dec. QF says that it’s also concerned that passengers may suffer “considerable harm and inconvenience” if tickets are booked on new services during an interim period of authorisation but final approval is denied. The Qantas plea for delay says it would be “more appropriate to consider the proposed alliance in totality, including the implications of Australia to UK/Europe price coordination” before any move to grant interim approval to the pact.
