Qantas gets connected at DFW

Tuesday, 14 Jan, 2011 0

Qantas is broadening its relationship with oneworld alliance partner, American Airlines.

Qantas will launch direct services from Sydney to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) from May 16.

The route will see Qantas operate direct Boeing 747 outbound flights four times a week from Sydney to DFW (as QF7), returning to Sydney via Brisbane (as QF8).

DFW is the primary hub of American Airlines. From DFW, American Airlines and its regional airline partner, American Eagle, operate nearly 750 flights to 186 destinations worldwide.

Direct Sydney-San Francisco (SFO) services will be discontinued on May 14 but SFO will remain part of Qantas’ network as a code share destination.

“Alongside our entry into DFW, Qantas and American Airlines intend to deepen their existing relationship and will be seeking regulatory approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and other relevant authorities for this expanded commercial relationship,” said Qantas CEO, Alan Joyce.
