• End of line carriers increasingly relying on partners to serve China
  30-Mar-2012

  Air New Zealand's decision to end Auckland-Beijing services in favour of a one-stop service on its Shanghai flight with onward connections by partner Air China is the latest example of the difficulties 'end of line carriers' in Australia and New Zealand are having serving China, which is a top trading partner for both.

  Ending services to Beijing is not a light decision given how coveted Beijing slots are, but Air New Zealand's move is not unprecedented. Qantas in 2009 made the exact same move, ending Beijing service in favour of a one-stop partner connection. Qantas also bolstered its Shanghai schedule, which Air New Zealand is doing too with progressive daily service.

• Sydney Airport divides terminals along alliance lines but risks alienating new carriers
  05-Dec-2011

  Sydney Airport will narrow its competitive disadvantage of having separate domestic and international terminals with a plan to split its terminals by 2019 into two alliance-based precincts: one for Qantas and its partners and one for Virgin Australia and its partners. The two groupings will account for 81% of all movements. Leftover international carriers will in most cases use the Virgin terminal while a plan is underway to address leftover domestic and regional airlines, notably Tiger Airways and Regional Express. While the plan may placate the two big airline groupings in Australia, Sydney airport may face a shortfall of placement options for new carriers looking to offer their passengers onward domestic connections.

  Sydney airport expects to formally begin stakeholder consulting with the aim of including the proposal in its 2014 master plan, which will be drafted in late 2013. Qantas and Virgin Australia, Sydney's two largest occupants based on movements and seats, have already given their support with the signing of a non-binding memorandum of understanding. The proposal will critically increase gates but not change slot restrictions, the airport's curfew or noise regulations.
