It was less than 6 months ago when British Airways cut down on its direct flights to Australia after axing its service from London to Sydney via Bangkok. BA now terminates at BKK with passengers wishing to fly on to Australia transferring to QF.
Under the current agreement, QF also stops in Bangkok and transfers passengers for LHR onto BA flights.
Seem to recall both carriers got rid of a lot of local staff too.Will be interesting to see if BA restarts the service.
