Initially that meant significant decreases to its Asia network, as capacity was redirected. But in early 2016 Qantas will have more flights from Australia to Asia than it had prior to the Emiratespartnership. That is despite now not serving Europe over Asia. Seat capacity is catching up and will further grow as Qantas looks to expand in Asia; already an additional three weekly A330 services are planned for Asia. Driving the increase are a number of factors: Qantas' successful restructuring has lowered its cost base and made Asia profitable, there is growing inbound tourism and Qantas needs to re-deploy widebody aircraft out of the domestic market.
