AUSTRALIAN flag carrier Qantas on Wednesday announced an aircraft maintenance joint venture with Malaysia Airlines subsidiary Mas Aerospace Engineering (MAE).

Qantas said the joint venture, scheduled to begin operations in Malaysia next year, would target the Asia-Pacific aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul market, which is forecast to reach A$15 billion by 2016.
