Airports say don’t cut Singapore Airlines out of Virgin-Qatar tie-up

Australian Airports Association chief executive Simon Westaway said the body’s members support the proposed alliance but noted “concerns about restrictions placed on Virgin Australia” in its submission to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s review.
