Airline bosses have appeared before the continuing Qatar Senate inquiry to discuss the Federal Government’s rejection of extra Qatar Airways flights. Qatar Airways says it was shocked to not have extra flights approved by the Australian Government, insisting more planes would have benefited the local economy. It is alleged that Qantas has been receiving privileged treatment from the government.It's all still cloudy.
Transport Minister Catherine King's office said that she had written to the Department for the Qatar Civil Aviation Authority in a letter sent by email on 14 July. Even so, Senior Vice President of Global Sales at Qatar Airways Matt Raos says the decision is not only affecting consumers, but also the tourism job market.
“I think in any industry where there is such dominant players, where there is a duopoly I think it yes, it raises the barriers to entry. Certainly. And when you actually look at Aviation, it is a very difficult industry to make work here in Australia and part of that reason why it has been hard for predecessors to bonza is because of the dominance and the concentration in the aviation sector.”
As the Senate goes through its final day of spotlighting its decision, Qantas chairman Richard Goyder has joined the hearing, along with Qantas' new CEO Vanessa Hudson.“We understand the importance of affordable air travel and realize that there has been a lot of upward pressure on airfare since the COVID restart. That is not unique to Qantas or to Australia. It's not even unique to aviation. As the committee is painfully aware, inflation has driven up price of most things.
Still, Professor Fels says that this investigation is of unprecedented importance as it can impact the lives of all Australians.
