smh said:QANTAS fears Middle Eastern airlines such as Emirates will boost their combined share of the lucrative business travel market between Australia and Europe to nearly 50 per cent within three years.
The airline's forecasts are contained in its application to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission for an extension of its joint venture with British Airways on the so-called kangaroo route. It was last granted by the competition regulator in 2005.

To me, it would seem that if QF wants to keep its share to Europe , then they should offer more than 2 destinations . Airlines such as Emirates have a much better network for conenctions in Europe without having to cross Europe to get to UK/DE and then backtrack for a few hours
