Qantas and Emirates in a statement on Saturday welcome the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s (ACCC) draft determination that proposes to grant authorisation for their partnership for another five years.
The continuation of the joint business, announced in August 2017, will see the airlines “deliver expanded services to better leverage each other’s networks, offering travellers improved schedule choice, increased frequent flyer benefits and an ongoing commitment to developing world class products and travel experiences for customers,” the statement said.
A final decision is expected in March 2018.
A Qantas spokesperson said “the first five years of the partnership has lived up to the promise of serving our customers better, together, and the changes to our network are designed to reinforce this for the next five years.”
