ACCC Findings on trans-Tasman “Code-Share”
As you will have read, the Australian competition watchdog, the ACCC, has proposed to turn down the attempt by Air New Zealand and Qantas to form an anti-competitive agreement on the Tasman.
The ACCC's draft determination is comprehensive, considered and robust, and is succinctly summarised in the attached transcript of an interview with the ACCC Chairman, Graeme Samuel, in an interview with Radio New Zealand on the day of the decision.
This Alert provides an overview of the ACCC’s draft determination, and the reaction from airlines.
