over many years.
It is the most signicant partnership
Qantas has ever established with
another airline, based on a clear vision:
a comprehensive shared network;
an excellent, consistent experience
for customers; global recognition for
frequent yers; and industry-leading
rewards for customer loyalty.
The partnership gives Qantas customers
access to Emirates’ vast network in
Europe, the Middle East and North
Africa, and gives Emirates customers
access to Qantas’ unmatched Australian
domestic and regional network. We are
also working together on trans-Tasman
andAsian routes.
Qantas’ position in the highly competitive
market between Australia and Europe is
far stronger in partnership with Emirates.
At the same time, moving our hub for
European ights from Singapore to Dubai
has enabled us to strengthen our focus
on Asia (see feature on page 34).
Since the partnership was launched,
the reception from our frequent yers,
employees and the tourism industry has
been outstanding.
