British Airways may still mull Qantas tie-up, FT says

LONDON -- British Airways Plc could revive plans for a tie-up with Qantas Airways Ltd., using its merger with Spain's Iberia Lineas Aereas de Espana SA as a template, Chief Executive Officer Willie Walsh told the Financial Times. The Iberia model would allow Qantas to retain a separate brand and home base, Walsh said, according to the report. There are no plans to pursue a tie-up at present, and the “quite negative” political reaction in Australia to a proposed deal last year would be a “major hurdle,” he added.
