Transport Minister Catherine King’s decision to block additional routes with Qatar Airways was shaped by a “range of national interests”, according to Assistant Trade Minister Tim Ayres.
“These are not discussions with Qatar Airways; these are bilateral discussions between countries,” he told Sky News Australia.
“It was widely known that Qatar was seeking this in terms of a number of Australian airports.”
