Air New Zealand said it was in a stronger position than when the alliance was first mooted in late 2002, but the same issues existed, such as too many airlines competing for a limited pool of passengers.

SYDNEY (eTurboNews) -- Qantas said yesterday that the decision of the Australian Competition Tribunal to authorize a proposed alliance between Qantas and Air New Zealand raised significant questions for the future of aviation in the region.
"We believe the disappointing recent decision by the New Zealand High Court to reject the alliance on appeal ignored both the reality of market-distorting government ownership and intervention in the global aviation industry and the major structural changes that are occurring around the world," he said.
Dixon said the conflicting outcomes of the separate Australian and New Zealand processes also highlighted the significance of the Australian Productivity Commission's current review of how greater cooperation, coordination and integration of the two competition and consumer regimes can occur.

In its decision, the America's Cup arbitration panel said the rule preventing challengers from going to any other court or tribunal was clearly intended to prevent the "sorry spectacle'' of competing teams resorting to the judicial process to resolve questions related to the cup.
Prada won the Louis Vuitton Cup two years ago for the right to sail against Team New Zealand in the Cup final, which it lost to in five consecutive races.
The provision dates to the 1990 fight between New Zealand's Mercury Bay and San Diego in the New York Appeals Court, which described resolution of the competition in court as the most "distasteful innovation of all.''
