1st SAA,now QF...AC next
 

Although SAA were smaller they saw the writing on the wall first with their code-share with EK into DXB.

As Willie W. said this week...this is the new template for geographically peripheral players...AC can't beat them .. Surely there is a deal in the making here...LATAM also.

After the debarkle between the UAE and Canadian governments back in 2010? i dont think there willl be any deals of the kind in the near future... :sad:

Fair point . Bad choice of words on my part. I suppose more peripheral from a South Asian/Middle East/African (i.e. the potential growth markets) perspective would have been better.

cheers

AC doesn't have to worry bout EK until after the next election. At which point I would expect EK will get a little more traction... Currently the Conservatives and AC are in bed together... The other parties will likely allow the ME carriers a little more wiggle room.
