The 2009 Federal Court Case of Woods v Qantas Airways Limited hinged on Qantas’ control of Jetstar and would have determined inter alia, whether or not Jetstar International was separate from Qantas International.
If, as Woods’ lawyers advised, Jetstar International was a part of Qantas International, the question today would be, does Qantas’ minority holdings in the various Jetstar Asia companies constitute part of:
· Facilities, taken in aggregate, which are used by Qantas in the provision of scheduled international air transport services.
Believe Woods' told Team Bazza that their pulling of the case would do untold damage to Qantas' young pilots and right now - it seems he was too close for comfort.
Opportunity lost.
