Interesting little snipet from Friday's AFR. Emirates non-equity takeover looks like it is moving to the next phase. Nothing like having your own Intel operatives installed at the target. What decision or rule change could they possibly want from Canberra?
Getting the band back After five years working for Qantas's partner airline Emirates in the city good tast forgot, Dubai, Trent Mumford will join Andrew Parker's government relations team at Qantas in January. He will replace Craig Simonetto, who's off to Transurban. Mumford is clearly a fan of Parker (best known as the lucky bastard with a walk-on role in Kevin Spacey's House of Cards). He's previously called Parker boss at Parker & Partners and Emirates.
