John MacKenzie chats with Geoffrey Thomas, Editor in Chief at AirlineRatings.com, for updates on the Qatar and Qantas airlines controversy following a Senate committee's review of the matter.

The Senate committee has stated that there is much evidence that Qantas 'exercised considerable influence' over the government during its decision.

The federal government recently came under fire for denying Qatar Airways additional flights into the country, claiming it was in the national interest to do so. It was later revealed that 'keeping Qantas profitable' may have been a factor in the government's decision.
