AIR SERVICES AGREEMENTS  The rights to operate international air services are established in Air Services Agreements which are negotiated between governments, typically bilaterally. These treaties set out the rights and entitlements of the respective countries’ airlines regarding which cities may be served, frequency, routing, aircraft type and limitations on passenger and cargo traffic that may be carried between particular points. Liberalisation of Air Services Agreements has occurred progressively, and is continuing, driven by the growth needs of airlines and the broader objectives of governments. Government and International Relations coordinates the Qantas Group’s position to feed into the Australian Government’s preparations in advance of air services negotiations, and is represented as an adviser on the delegation at the negotiations. Before exercising air services treaty rights, Government and International Relations must generally apply to the International Air Services Commission (IASC), an Australian independent statutory body, for an allocation of capacity to enable services to be operated by Qantas, Jetstar or Qantas Freight.
