The ACCC, Australia’s consumer competition watchdog, has announced that it will closely monitor and report on the competitiveness of the domestic air travel market.

This comes as News Corp’s The Australian reported on June 18 that senior government officials are angry with the administrators of Virgin Australia over concerns that regional routes and jobs may be lost as two U.S. hedge funds bid for the airline.
