You were confused, really? Given the title of this thread, and all of the subject of chinatraderjmr's post, was it really unclear whether he meant Aerocaribe or Qantas?

I am also surprised that QF would consider this beneficial. What do they really have to gain? They would start to serve DXB and funnel passengers onward on EK? They would carry passengers onward to regional destinations from EK's Australia destinations? That would presumably hurt QF's appeal to European destinations. I guess, with EK's strength to Australia, they figure, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
