Qantas Malaysia Airlines "merger" talks look like the real thing

Qantas and Malaysia Airlines (MAS) have the potential to make a solid combination. There appear to be solid grounds for the rumours again sweeping the market today that the two carriers are looking at linking up. In reality there are few options for cross border mergers (or, rather, "tie-ups" at this stage of regulatory development - full merger is well nigh impossible) in this region.
