Qantas Sale Act & Jetstar

Qantas Sale Act & Jetstar
Under the requirements regarding Qantas' articles of association in The Sale Act; there is the following quote:
(f) prohibit Qantas from conducting scheduled international air
transport passenger services under a name other than:
(i) its company name; or
(ii) a registered business name that includes the expression
“Qantas”; and
So how is Qantas able to use the Jetstar name?

Probably because Jetstar is a totally different subsidiary company. I guess they could legally argue that Qantas is not operating the services, just codesharing on them so it is significantly different enought o be legal under the articles of association.

qantas , australian airlines and jetstar have applied for international airservice agreements to bo extended /renewed/ codeshared for northern summer 2006. it also gives you an oversight of flying to asia between QF/AO/J*

Qantas also own a number of airline companies, most long since ceased operation, including Air Queensland and Queensland Airlines - both of which interestingly enough, are currently subject to de-registration.
Good chance for some Queenslander with a Partenavia or tired old Navajo to register a state wide airline name?

Good thinking The The.
I think the answer for AO and JQ, is that for overseas operations you'll note on the side of the fuselage "a QANTAS Group Company"
Sneaky though...and I guess certainly not the intention of the Act.

Earlier on, s.3 of the Act defines `Qantas` and also `Qantas subsidiaries`. Unfortunately, the definition of `Qantas` does not include its subsidiaries or the wider QF group. Hence whilst there are certain restrictions on QF itself in s.7, these do not appear to apply to subsidiaries/other group companies.
It appears that in trying to be restrictive, the drafters of this Act didn`t count on someone actively trying to get around its provisions...
The The - bit of a Matt Johnson fan??
