IN A joint statement, Qantas and Emirates have welcomed the ACCC’s draft determination that proposes to grant authorisation for the extension of their pact for another five years (TD Fri).
“The first five years of the partnership have lived up to the promise of serving our customers better, together, and the changes to our network are designed to reinforce this for the next five years,” a QF spokesperson said.
“With three options to get to Europe, via Perth, Singapore and Dubai, & more frequencies between Australia and NZ, the partnership better reflects customer demand, leverages new aircraft technology and plays to each airline’s respective network strengths,” Qantas said.
An Emirates spokesperson said that over 8 million passengers had benefited from its joint network with Qantas since 2013.
A final decision on the alliance renewal is expected next month.
