Gomer approves Qatar 25% stake in Virgin Australia

Interesting.

Personally, I think anything that could damage Qantas is a good thing.  Grin

I also put the blame on the Qatar airport, not Qatar Airlines for the forced "gynecological checks" that took place a while back.  Shocked

I wonder if a proportion of females in Australia put the blame on Qatar Airlines?

Maybe they won't be impressed by this approval?

I guess the hundreds of thousands of Qantas shareholders won't be too pleased either.  Wink

Qatar Airways is a great airline.

When I took my wheelchair-bound father to Europe, they treated us like kings.

Best service I've ever received.

My daughter flew with Qatar a few years ago, she reckons they are great too.

I'm just interested if this move could have some negative blow-back from some areas.  Smiley

Very interesting timing of the approval too.  Wink

Timed to coincide with some good news about a Qantas profit increase in order to mask any negative effect?
