The big 3 Airline Alliances come under question now too I guess, as to their value
Back in the late 90's and early 2000's when all the alliances were courting EK, Flanagan and Clark were adamant that EK did not need any alliance, and that the EK model would prevail. Sounded pretty arrogant at the time but now that EK is biggest on the block, it is starting to look like EK management were more visionary than most gave them credit
Anyone betting against the QF-EK tie up might come under a little bit of pressure. JB?
