Alliances
Qantas
Qantas is a founding member of oneworld
which, in February 2009, celebrated its 10th
anniversary and US$5 billion of revenue generated
for its member airlines through alliance fares and
sales products.
oneworld provides Qantas customers with
access to 675 destinations and 550 airport
lounges, and the opportunity to earn and redeem
Frequent Flyer points across its global network.
A key milestone for 2009 is the October
co-location of oneworld carriers in Terminal 3 at
London Heathrow. While British Airways’ (BA) core
operation is in Terminal 5, all BA flights to Australia
covered by the Joint Services Agreement with
Qantas are to be operated from Terminal 3.
oneworld will welcome Mexicana and its
affiliate Click Mexicana as members in late 2009,
while Russia’s largest domestic carrier, S7 Airlines,
will join the alliance in 2010.
Qantas is also party to 26 bilateral codeshare
agreements.
In November 2008, daily China Eastern
codeshare flights became available between
Shanghai and Chengdu and Xi’an; and a daily
return codeshare service commenced between
Shanghai and Beijing.
Qantas commenced a codeshare with Etihad in
March 2009, adding 21 return services per week
between Australia and Abu Dhabi, with onward
codeshare services to Amman, Beirut and Bahrain.
Qantas extended its longstanding codeshare
arrangement with oneworld member Japan
Airlines (JAL) in June 2009 to include JAL services
from Singapore to Osaka and Tokyo.
Also in June 2009, Qantas introduced new
codeshares with oneworld partner airlines
American Airlines and Iberia. Codesharing
commenced on selected American Airlines flights
to Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit, Indianapolis,
Memphis, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and Tampa
from American Airlines’ Dallas and Chicago hubs,
while Qantas launched codeshare services on Iberia
flights to Madrid from Frankfurt and London.
Jetstar
Jetstar is one of the first low fares carriers to offer
an interline product with traditional carriers, while
maintaining its low fares base.
Qantas became its first interline partner in
March 2009; followed by Etihad in April; and Air
Tahiti Nui, Air Calin, Royal Jordanian, Qatar and
Air Pacific.
Jetstar began codesharing with Japan Airlines
on Osaka-Gold Coast-Sydney from October 2008
and Tokyo-Cairns services from December 2008.
