QANTAS has warned aviation authorities that putting an end to its tie up with South Africa Airways for services between Australia and Johannesburg is likely to lead to one of the airlines pulling off the route.
The International Air Services Commission has told the two airlines - which hold a duopoly on direct services to South Africa - that it is unlikely to extend its approval of their code-share beyond the end of the year.
It has also proposed a condition of their existing tie up that they operate 14 flights a week between them, so as to stop the airlines from ''reducing capacity in order to cut costs and drive up load factors and fares''.
