    AIR NZ (ASX:AIZ) has the all-clear from the consumer watchdog to acquire an extra six per cent stake in Virgin Australia Holdings Limited (ASX:VAH).


     


    The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission says it will not oppose the proposed acquisition as it would not be likely to result in a substantial lessening of competition.


     


    The ACCC this week granted conditional authorisation for the two airlines to continue their trans-Tasman alliance.


     


    It says Air New Zeland won’t have the ability to control or materially influence Virgin as a result of the share purchase.


     


    Virgin booked a net loss of $98.1 million in fiscal 2013.
