Emirates shows its hand with Phuket flights
But it helps explain why Emirates is disinterested in having anything to do with Qantas subsidiary Jetstar, in that it is firmly of the view that long haul flight needs to be pitched to all consumer tastes, and not limit the selling opportunities to low fare customers as seen on the associated 737 operation, FlyDubai which is rapidly expanding into a wide range of small city shorter haul routes within one to four hours flight time from its UAE hub.
The Phuket move comes a few days after Emirates took control of the Qantas-Emirate deal discussions by nominating the time frame, six months, and the nature of the deal it would accept, as a non-revenue sharing code share.
Those constraints may be seen as leaving Qantas management short of a speculative headline to trot out at its 23 August full year results, as a sort of son-of-Red-Q which was the nonsense used to stimulate excitement in analyst land nearly a year ago today.
