Ben has done a comparison of Emirates and Qantas on the Emirates first half results. I reckon it says a lot about where Qantas is going to now.
Instead of flying less, it flew more, instead of charging less for its product, in race-to-the-bottom fare wars, it charged more, instead of laying off staff, it employed more, instead of pruning its network, it added new routes, and instead of cutting back on new airliners, it added more to its all wide-body fleet.
It sounds starkly different to its new approvals pending junior business partner, Qantas We expect you to fly Emirates unless you live in Sydney or Melbourne doesn’t it?
The full story is here and is a day old.
