So the 33.3% ownership with both Qantas and JAL have with Jetstar Japan and the 49% Qantas has with Jetstar Asia is OK?

One of the things that always amazed me about Australia was, at least in the 1990s, that it was less expensive to fly from Australia to many distant foreign destinations than to fly a shorter domestic route on a highly regulated Australian air carrier. Australian air lines in general are high cost. Nice service but not sure it is that much nicer to justify the higher prices they charge.

Australia is a rich country mostly in commodities resources.

Not many companies ready for competition.

It's a kind of Saudi Arabia in Oceania, but using its resources in a wiser manner, high class education and high class work-life balance.

I’ve travelled regularly between Australia and Japan with both airlines and most of the time the airfare was pretty much the same .

Good call made for passengers.
