I haven’t looked too hard but I haven’t found any of these codeshare flights yet to see how the prices and timings/connections look.

It will be interesting if there’s a discount for 2 stops to Europe v 1 stop booking direct with QR. I’d be up for it. One downside is the lower QF SCs earn going direct through DOH v first hop through Asia.

Should also provide some welcome alternatives for PER and ADL travellers.

That may well be the answer. Hopefully that will happen soon if it is the problem.

If you look at the AY rationalisation, it has some strong similarities to how QFA's current CEO has responded to various market repositioning strategies since 2008. I would also compare both medium-sized airlines' relevance as national carriers in both middle-power countries.
