Big airline ready to plug the Ansett gap
The world's largest airlines group is close to backing one of its members in the launch of an offshoot as a third Australian carrier.
Delegates from a conference in Shanghai of Star Alliance airlines indicated that the job could go to Singapore Airlines or possibly Air New Zealand.
The new carrier would aim to fill the vacuum in its world routes created by the collapse of Ansett - and to address the continuing concerns of alliance passengers over their ensuing inability to
redeem frequent-flyer points in Australia.
