  Trans Australia Airlines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trans Australia Airlines or TAA (IATA TN, renamed Australian Airlines in 1986) was one of the two major Australian domestic airlines between its inception in 1946 and its sale to Qantas in 1992.
The Australian Airlines brand was revived in 2002 to serve the low-cost leisure market of visitors to and from Australia.
By the end of the war, there were only nine domestic airlines remaining, eight smaller regional concerns and ANA, a conglomerate owned by British and Australian shipping interests which had a virtual monopoly on the major trunk routes and received 85% of all government air transport subsidies.

Dixon said Australian Airlines began flying when SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, took hold in the region in 2003, and the airline never recovered from the associated downturn in international travel.
He said 30-40 people would lose their jobs in the next few months with the loss of the airline while another 550 people would be recruited to staff the new Qantas and Jetstar services.

The policy emerged when a New Zealand man said he was asked by airline staff to move because an unaccompanied minor had been assigned the seat next to him.
I believe the airline policy is a sound one, therefore, just as it is a sound policy to seat able bodied passengers in an exit row.
