Emirates helps Qantas offer more options

  • United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, February 06 - 2013 at 05:39

Qantas Airways is to fly seven Asian routes earlier in the day, as its partnership with Dubai's Emirates Airline gives it more scope to run flights at times that appeal to business class passengers, Bloomberg has reported. "The joint Qantas-Emirates network into Asia gives our customers a fresh set of options," said Qantas international chief Simon Hickey. The carrier is partnering with Emirates in a bid to end as much as A$450m ($469m) of annual losses on international routes. The 'kangaroo' route to Europe, which had previously transferred through Singapore, Hong Kong, and Bangkok, will be moved to the Gulf carrier's Dubai hub and a 17-year alliance with British Airways on the long-haul routes will be dropped as a result.
