QF are already code sharing with EK, just on one day looking at MEL/points-beyond-DXB various sector options include ....

QF8405 = EK405 MEL-SIN-DXB
QF8407 = EK407 MEL-DXB
QF8409 = EK409 MEL-KUL-DXB
QF8011 = EK11 DXB-LGW
QF8355 = EK355 SIN-DXB

If only someone had been smart enough to arrange a Revenue Sharing scheme similar to the BA JSA.

You should see all the code shares out of Dubai every day.

I don't think you can just ring up and tell people you can shift their freight today as our loads are low, but sorry we couldn't do it last week.

You generally would be locked into contracts to provide X amount of freight capacity a service / week. When full of pax, weights mean there is not too much capacity for freight on the 380 Mel/Dxb direct.

There would be a small market for short term freight, but not enough to justify the 200+ tonnes of fuel for a half empty load.

Why would Qantas want to carry freight on the 9 when the loads are down? I am convinced, that is 100% after recent dealings, that they will do anything to look and be unprofitable.
