Qantas withdraws from San Francisco, commences 4x daily Dallas service. New competitive environment
The alliance battle is hotting up in the south Pacific, now that Delta and United are entrenched in the Australian market. Qantas today announced it will commence four times weekly Sydney-Dallas/Fort Worth service from 16-May-2011, using three-class B747-400 aircraft. Operating into American’s dominant US hub makes a lot of sense and gives both carriers a much stronger position to distribute traffic beyond their first gateways.
