Cleared for take-off: The Asia-Pacific Tipline for 7 June 2019

Qantas and American Airlines have had far more success in gaining approval for their expanded alliance under President Donald Trump than they did under his predecessor. Meanwhile, China’s antitrust watchdog recently issued a pair of decisions and India’s enforcer continues its crackdown on certain conduct in the pharmacy business. Tokyo hosted the International Bar Association’s mid-year competition conference. Elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific region, it was another busy week in Australia, where the competition enforcer has sought feedback on innovative proposals and outlined concerns in the wine industry. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
