Description of Conduct

On 12 May 2011 Qantas Airways and American Airlines sought authorisation for a Joint Business Agreement (JBA).

Under the proposed JBA, the airlines will coordinate operations on services between Australia/New Zealand and the United States of America (the trans-Pacific routes), and on extensive Qantas and American Airlines services which support the trans-Pacific routes.

On 29 September 2011 the ACCC issued a determination granting authorisation for five years.
