Qatar Airways to take 25% stake in Virgin Australia
Jun 28, 2024, 08:20 AMUUAA, it’s a legal requirement (that only applies to Qantas) and if foreign ownership ever tips above 49%, whoever bought in last is forced to sell their shares.Not sure where they are now but, during the pandemic, Australian ownership of Qantas was as high as 80%.

There will be no scheduled flights from Perth to London until the Australian government gives its citizens permission to leave the country. Who knows when that will be? At the...
