November 17, 2005 - 3:32PM
Prime Minister John Howard today indicated that he would like to see Qantas and Singapore Airlines work more closely together, including a possible merger, at some stage in the future.
Mr Howard made the comment to Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) forum in Busan, South Korea.
During their meeting the pair discussed Australia's open skies policy, which is currently under review.
Mr Howard said he told Mr Lee that he would "like one day to see Qantas and Singapore Airlines to come together".
Asked if that meant a merger, Mr Howard said: "Whatever that might ultimately mean, including the word you just used."
