Emirates and Qantas Announce Major
Global Aviation Partnership
Qantas to use Dubai hub – new partnership will link Australia with more than 70 gateways in
Europe, the Middle East and Africa
Emirates and Qantas announced a new global aviation partnership
that will give customers a seamless international
and Australian network, exclusive frequent fl yer benefi ts
and world-class travel experiences.
Under the agreement signed by Emirates President Tim
Clark and Qantas CEO Alan Joyce, Qantas will move its hub
for European fl ights from Singapore to Dubai and enter an
extensive commercial relationship with Emirates.
The 10 year codesharing partnership is enhanced by integrated
network collaboration with coordinated pricing, sales
and scheduling as well as a benefi ts sharing model. Neither
airline will take equity in the other.
The partnership will see Qantas, along with
anchor tenant Emirates, as the
only other airline
operating at Dubai International‘s Terminal 3. The two airlines
will jointly offer 98 weekly services between Australia
and the global gateway city of Dubai including four daily
A380 fl ights. With Emirates fl ying the largest fl eet of A380s in
the world with 23, combined with Qantas‘ 12 A380s for a total
of 35, many onward fl ights to Europe including London Paris,
Moscow, Amsterdam, Munich and Rome will also be on this
popular aircraft. In addition, Qantas will launch daily A380
services from both Sydney and Melbourne to London via
Dubai for a combined unprecedented seven daily A380
fl ights to London Heathrow. Thirty additional European gateways
can be seamlessly reached from Australia via Dubai.
For Emirates customers it will open up Qantas‘ Australian
domestic network of more than 50 destinations and nearly
5,000 fl ights per week. The carriers will also coordinate their
respective trans-Tasman services between Australia and
New Zealand with Emirates offering improved schedules for
fl ights to Christchurch and Auckland – including the introduction
of Emirates‘ daily A380 services on the Melbourne-
Auckland route in October.
