Airfares Could Drop by Up to 10% with Qatar Airways Flights, Inquiry Reveals

 
A Senate inquiry in Australia has brought to light potential government support for the nation’s flagship carrier, Qantas.

The inquiry, which aims to examine the aviation industry’s ties with the government, revealed that Qantas does indeed appear to receive extra protection from government policies.

Among the findings was that airfares in Australia could have fallen by up to 10 per cent had the Government not blocked an appeal by Qatar Airways to add additional flights in Australia.

During the inquiry, several key figures in the aviation sector testified about the perceived advantages that Qantas enjoys.

These advantages reportedly include preferential treatment when it comes to landing rights, access to government contracts, and potential regulatory leniency.

While Qantas has denied receiving any special favours, the inquiry has raised questions about the level of government intervention in the aviation industry.

Critics argue that such support, if proven, could stifle competition and harm smaller airlines struggling to survive.

Currently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing an application to use MDMA to treat PTSD. The agency is expected to announce its ruling as soon as August.
