Like to know how Etihad will be all over AUS by end of year considering that the UAE only has approval for 49 flights a week into AUS and once EK go double daily to PER, thats the 49 gone.
More flights have been applied for (42 week extra), but do you really think little johnny and his ministry for qantas will approve those ... got to keep those bad boys from the desert who dont pay anything for their fuel away from QF now dont we!!!!!
