The Greatest must be still suffering the effects of being "beaten around the ring" all those years ago. I never knew Quantas had any flights operating to the UAE....???

Anyway his ultimatum sounds prefectly reasonable to me. If Quantas aren't interested, then Emirates should be satisfied with what they've already got going.

Is Jetstar planning to operate to the UAE now?

Can anyone explain how Emirates is able to bypass the usual prosesses to be allowed to carry trans-Tasman pax between, for example, Auckland and Sydney? I thought the rule was, only on-carriage for the foreign carriers???

Or was that the old rule?
