Q Liberalization has allowed the international airline industry to use flags of convenience arrangements.

I chose Case study: Jetstar in which the flags of convenience for the Australian airline have been designed to be used for flights from one domestic region to another within Australia (Flags of convenience in civil aviation, 2021). The flag used in such situations is generally the changing of the flight number to international flight number (Flags of convenience in civil aviation, 2021). Then there is also no standard or fixed rate of pay given to the cabin crew members of different countries like Thailand in order to use flags of convenience (Flags of convenience in civil aviation, 2021).
