Oz Returns to the Duopoly Market Structure

The formal and expected announcement from the Australian Competition authorities (more correctly the ACCC) has approved the merger of Stella and Jetset/QBT. Thus creating in effect a duopoly in the market of Flight Centre and Stella Group.

With the airlines now coalesced around Qantas (including Jetstar) and Virgin Blue - the old Australian model of two of everything seems to have returned

Cheers
