Qantas, American Airlines seek partnership extension to 2026
<snip>
The Joint Venture between Qantas and American Airlines allows the carriers to closely cooperate on routes from Australia and New Zealand to the United States, Canada and Mexico, and vice versa. This includes coordinating fare prices, sharing revenue from each other’s flights, broad codesharing across the combined Qantas/AA transpacific network, and cost sharing as well: which is said to make new international routes more viable, when both airlines share the risk.
