VA & SAA to codeshare Aus- South Africa
Virgin Australia and South African have announced a code share this evening for all ports of Australia, except Sydney to Perth and on to South Africa.
http://www.ausbt.com.au/qantas-partn...rgin-australia Very interesting since SAA is currently QF's partner. |
Well that's certainly an interesting dynamic isn't it! Will be fun to watch this play out :P
|
Strange indeed.
I thought this route has always been a money maker for Q. Well, am pretty sure SAA will re-start the route if Qantas axes it and/or team up with Star Alliance partner Air NZ. hmmm.... |
SAA codeshare with VA, who have Air NZ and Singapore on the owner side.
Looks like VA is getting closer and closer to a Star Alliance membership. |
With the existing QANTAS codeshare on SAA, does this mean that Virgin Australia and QANTAS passengers will be flying in the same aircraft from Perth to Johannesburg?
|
The SAA/QF codeshare agreement is up for renewal later this year and the ACCC has hinted it won't be renewed.
Looks like SAA are now looking at VA as a partner leaving QF on its own. QF are now deciding what to do about PER-JNB links. The options are operate the services themselves or codeshare with EK via DXB. The QF SYD-JNB route will remain unchanged at this stage. |
