Qantas / Emirates tie up (Partnership inc. Codeshare, Status)

[oz_mark]

So when does "regulatory approval" come through? 5 days to go and everything I read from QF still has the asterisk.

I did see some speculation that approval might be coming through tomorrow (Wednesday)

I have transited DXB (on CX to JED from HKG) and was directed not to disembark. Just a point of reference.

We de-boarded in AUH (our destination) but those continuing to Muscat stayed on board (flying BA back in 2010).

The ACCC has issued ''conditional'' authorisation of the QF/EK JSA.

At long last we can get on with our lives..!!! :mrgreen:

In all seriousness, a massive undertaking, and congratulations to all concerned. I wish them a positive, successful and rewarding future.

mmmmm . . . maybe I have spoken to soon, as the authorisation doesn't come into effect until 18th April, and there is still opportunity for application of review of the determination

The ACCC have revoked the previous Interim Authorisation and issued a new one including conditions on capacity management on Trans-Tasman routes. This will then be superceded when final authorisation comes through, pending any appeals, on 18APR.

This will then be superceded when final authorisation comes through, pending any appeals, on 18APR. In other words, QF1 and QF9 will be departing for LHR via DXB on Sunday

QF1 was going to go via DXB regardless.

Yes, you're quite right. Have updated my post accordingly.

I believe QF lose their old slots at SIN as of 01APR13?

 

[simongr]

No sign of awards ex DXB as yet - although that was probably a little hopeful

Not sure if they lose them, historically they hang on to them and lease them out, rather than give them up AFAIK

Just saw this on the Agents site:

Am hunting for the same so will post when I have success

Why Y only to EU/UK?

Why Y only to EU/UK?

Don't know why but may explain why Y fares have been pretty much the same as each other but J fares have been very different, going by reports on this board.

I am confused about the start date of the authorisation:

708.This interim authorisation has immediate effect and will remain in place until either it is revoked or the final determination comes into effect.

followed by:

Date authorisation comes into effect
709.This determination is made on 27 March 2013. If no application for review of the determination is made to the the Tribunal, it will come into force on 18 April 2013.

So is it today (immediate effect) or on the 18th April (come into force)?

As it says it your two quotes interim immediate, full effect 18th April provided no review is made to the tribunal.

So does that mean they can go ahead from now? Or will they hold off for the final determination?

I gather it means they can continue to do what they have been doing for the last few months on an interim bases, which includes starting the code sharing arrangements to the agreed destinations

 

[Awesom Andy]

Basically, they have authorisation to do what they want to do, but everyone else can still have a last ditch attempt to rain on their parade over the next 3 weeks.

QF shareprice is doing very well today.!
