The announcement today that Emirates will be offering direct flights from Adelaide to the Middle East from November this year could create greater problems for the already troubled Qantas.
With a forecast loss of four hundred and fifty million dollars from the international division, Qantas seems to be in a tight spot with its new competition from abroad – but it’s not expected to collapse Ansett-style anytime soon. Even though the demand from foreign airlines seems to be increasing – especially with the Emirates announcement – we cannot predict what the future has in store for Australian international airlines. Aviation experts however warn that they need to be cautious.
