Since its invention as a public company, Qantas has been a skilled prosecutor of whispering campaigns against its enemies foreign and domestic.
It is the dirtiest player in the game. In Canberra, Qantas was briefing MPs on human rights abuses in the United Arab Emirates right up to the moment it jumped into bed with Emirates and started flying to Dubai itself.Any person being honest with themselves, incidentally, knows very well that the global aviation supply chain is chock-full of human misery.
If Joyce was being honest, he’d have said the Emirates partnership allowed him to outsource his international network to a state-owned Gulf carrier, and maybe they’re not so bad after all. According to the airlines’ own November 2022 application to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for a five-year extension of their authorisation to collude, Qantas and Emirates have a 52 per cent market share on flights between Australia and the United Kingdom and a 37 per cent market share between Australia and Europe, with Qatar next on 21.5 per cent.
