OF nach Dallas-Fort Worth. Gibt SFO auf.

QANTAS is revamping its US strategy, flying to Dallas-Fort Worth, to drive additional business traffic and boost Queensland tourism.

The airline will axe services to San Francisco from May 14 as part of the move and use three-class Boeing 747-400ER aircraft to service the major hub of Oneworld alliance partner American Airlines.

The two airlines intend to apply to regulators to form a marketing alliance similar to the joint services agreement between Qantas and British Airways on the kangaroo route. This would allow them to co-ordinate commercial activities such as fares and marketing in the same way that Virgin Blue and Delta Air Lines hope to do through their trans-Pacific alliance.

Flying to Dallas has been a long-held goal at Qantas because it allows the airline to capitalise on American's biggest hub and its connections to 186 destinations.

Qantas ditches San Francisco for Dallas | The Australian

Qantas together with American Airlines have announced plans to operate direct flights from Sydney to Dallas Fort Worth from 16 May 2011, the service which will be operated via a 3 class Boeing 747 will fly under QF7 for the Sydney to Dallas Fort Worth route with the return flight that will operate via Brisbane will operate under QF8 (DFW-BNE-SYD).

Qantas Chief Executive Officer, Mr Alan Joyce, said DFW will be an excellent addition to the Qantas network and enable Qantas to strengthen its relationship with American Airlines.

“This new service is great news for both Australian and American travelers,” Mr Joyce said. “It will connect Qantas customers to one of the USA’s major hub airports, benefitting both business and leisure travelers. Flying to DFW is an important step for Qantas as we expand and improve our international services.”

Qantas fliegt ab sofort die längste 747 Route

Am Sonntag erfolgte der erste Nonstop-Flug Sydney-Dallas/Fort Worth mit einer 747-400ER. 4 mal wöchentlich wird die Strecke von Quantas bedient. Längerfristig und bei guter Buchungslage denkt Quantas darüber nach, eine A380 auf der Strecke einzusetzen. Im Gegenzug wurde der Service Sydney-San Francisco eingestellt.

According to Boeing, the extended range 747 has a range of 7,760 nautical miles. This route definitely pushes the envelope at 7,470 nautical miles and will take nearly 64,000 gallons of jet fuel to power the aircraft across the Pacific Ocean.

New airline routes launched (10 – 16 May 2011) | anna.aero


Zum Hintergrund (engl.)...

Qantas on 16 May dropped its route to San Francisco and instead began operating from its Sydney (SYD) base to Dallas/Fort Worth, TX (DFW), the home of its alliance partner American Airlines. Pending regulatory approval, the two alliance partners seek anti-trust immunity for an even closer cooperation. The Australian oneworld airline operates the new route four times weekly, with the return sector operating via Brisbane (BNE), with 371-seat 747-400s. The 13,800-kilometre route ranks as the longest passenger flight operated with 747 aircraft. Jeff Fegan, DFW Airport’s CEO, commented: “Qantas opens up a whole new part of the globe for our passengers from North Texas,” said, noting that the new service will generate about US$130 million for the region’s economy.
