Be interesting to see how the thwarted code share arrangements will influence Borghetti's masterplan. Hot on the heels of the DoT announcing its intention to block the DELTA tie-up, the ACCC are now announcing that it intends to block the AirNZ codeshare on the Tasman, and this after PacBro have already given the domestic market in NZ over to AirNZ. The ACCC has further announced its intention to fast track its process in evaluating the consumer impact of the proposed ETIHAD codeshare. I'd be gobsmacked if this deal doesn't get through (but then again - I've had my gob smacked in the past).
