EK is ceasing operation, but even now only has 1 per day
CI has less than 1 per day - but is a great option on days it operates
NZ has most flights operated by single class aeroplanes - only a couple of flights with business class
QF has business class on all flights and several flights a day
The main competition to QF is NZ

NZ101 0700 772
NZ103 0900 772
NZ107 1610 772/789
With an few A320 services in between to fill the gaps, the majority of NZ's capacity on AKL-SYD is operated by 777/787s.

Most likely just some teething problems while they re-allocate the flights, and re book everyone onto the new serrvices.

tue : 2x320 +2x789
14 services a week operated by 320s, 6 by 777s and 8 by 787s
The most number of seats are with large aeroplanes, but 50% of the services are with smal ones. Only 50% of the services offer a business class
Looking at the upcoming week, Qantas has 1 x 787 in the morning and currently relies on EK for a large aeroplane in the afternoon. QF does have a higher frequency of services over NZ
QF has a higher number of flights a day to NZ all offering a business class cabin - just not such a good one
wed QF : 5 services vs 4 NZ
thu QF : 5 services vs 5 NZ
fri QF : 6 services vs 6 NZ
sat QF : 5 services vs 3 NZ
sun QF : 6 services vs 5 NZ
mon QF : 5 services vs 3 NZ
tue QF : 5 services vs 4 NZ
When booking business class based on schedule, with 37 services vs 14 , QF has an advantage over NZ

LA only has 1 service a day at a pretty awful departure time

Was booked in F QF redemption on EK in early August SYD-AKL-DXB-LHR. Now it seems to be changed, with no notification. Somewhat disappointed at losing an EK F sector and replacing with QF J. We had booked a car from home to SYD as EK allow this. Should we get any miles back and a replacement car or are QF allowed to downgrade a partner booking without compensation?

Yes - but looking at it, a large number of flights are with small aeroplanes

NZ Weekly J/PE Seats - 708
QF Weekly J Seats - 444
It also relates back to most New Zealand business will not allow you to fly AKL-SYD in J, most have an cheapest Y fare policy for short-trips.
NZ also has the advantage for being able to offer PE, which to be honest the hard product is just about the same as QF's 738s J. If your already got lounge access its pretty much the same for half the price.
