EK and QF partnership
A very good article analysing the new partnership, its effect on EK, QF and its main rivals and their respective airport hubs

Yes, good articles indeed.
One thing that no-one seems to have mentioned is the impact on DXB itself.
This airport is already over capacity in terms of flights and pax and having QF deposit quite a few more of both will make it an unpleasant experience for most pax. They will miss the quiet ambience of Singapore.
It can't really go on like this. Building another terminal is not the answer.

You make a good point. I would be interested in reading an analysis on the impact this will have on DXB's Concourse A & B. Having said that, it will all depend on what time they bring the QF birds in. If the connections into Europe are going to work, they will have to arrive just before the early morning departure bank of 6-8 am which will be along with the Asian arrivals.

They do not *need* to stay 17 hours in London, QF chooses to leaver them there; QF could have the flights depart for Australia at lunchtime if they wanted to or have a daytime service from Australia to arrive in the evening into London

Zol, do you have any idea of the mileage bonuses being offered to QF members based on their tier status? Would be a interesting to know what EK is offering QF Silvers, Golds, Plats, and Plat 1s. Anyone from QF listening?

The Australian ACCC has granted Interim Authorisation
Qantas re-applied for Interim Authorisation almost immediately the draft determination came out on Dec 20th.
They had actually applied for interim approval back on September 6th (when the tie-up was officially announced), however they withdrew that application on October 4th:
Qantas and Emirates withdraw application for interim authorisation
Media Release - Kangaroo Route prepares to hop via Middle East
It was announced today this has been granted.
QANTAS/Emirates receives approval from ACCC for interim authorisation - Airline Hub Buzz | Airline news and Information
Press release from QF:
About Qantas - Media Room - Media Releases - Qantas welcomes interim authorisation for Emirates partnership
“This decision means we can determine pricing, capacity and scheduling with Emirates, in addition to the more logistical aspects of the partnership that we have been working through already,” said Mr Joyce
The underlined bit indicates things of major interest to FTers such as SCs, lounge access etc. may have been already determined.
