Which is why the government is pathetic in going along with Qantas’ submission against the Qatar rights. QF knows they are very constrained in any long haul growth outside of Sunset this decade, it’s a huge win keeping the bigger players at bay, plus keep margins sky high. The A330s all need replacing by 2030. Airbus have recently said that widebody slots are 2029/2030 onwards at the moment. They should really have 30-40 787s at the moment servicing all parts of the world.
Keep an eye on Riyadh Air, a future contender to become the ME4. QF will be out to block that one mark my words.
Pity Virgin locally never made anything out of a decent long haul network.
