Federal Gov Subsidise Foreign Airlines?
I hope with the extension of IFAM (International Freight Assistance Mechanism) that the Federal Government approves Australian Airlines for these flights.
I know that Australian Airlines might not service some routes but I hope preference is given to our operators.
Seeing that a lot of International airlines are operating here only because they have financial assistance from their own governments, it would be a pity to see Australian tax payer money further subsidising foreign carriers and foreign jobs.
Thoughts?
