Article in Financial Review this morning claims:
- Alliance, or code share announced today with alliance being announced later on
- Frankfurt gone
- JV with BA ended
- Flights to Europe re-routed through Dubai
instead of Singapore.
So if the JV with BA has gone, it will cost 'international' more money now, no doubt, to break the contracts with BA especially taking the slots at LHR back.
But thinking about how it could work
QF had the HKG & BKK - LHR slots so would it make sense to take 1 back, say AUS-DXB-LHR and give the other to Emirates and retain the SIN-LHR?
Gives all European travellers a stop in DXB and change to Emirates with no back tracking from LHR. Might mean a MEL & SYD - DXB service with 1 going on to LHR.
Will have 3 LHR services 1 via DXB & 2 via SIN because they'll still want the connections via SIN for JQ Asian services.
