Do correct me if I'm wrong - but I believe the situation regarding the TATL route until very recently was the same - e.g. only UK and US airlines allowed to fly between UK and US (now we have AF flying that route, and BA flying France-US).

IMHO the real problem is that US airlines aren't competing on the OZ-US route and they are leaving QF to make monopoly profits. Surely they have the traffic rights? Does anyone know why they don't exercise them?
