Maybe the EK lounge, I am expecting it to fold and merge into the QP facilities.

Or MH will sell their space since MH passengers can use the QF lounge but the space will probably be too small.

Maybe, or use the old QP space which is vacant.

If SkyTeam member airlines depart mainly from area where MH lounge is then this makes sense. I know Korean does. Maybe Delta too. Not sure about Aerolineas, Vietnam and airlines ex-China.

I know NZ have been looking at building a larger SYD for a while now, they we're just waiting for SYD to provide more floor space. Maybe they might big getting there larger space built and SKY Team takes NZs old space

Also apparently a reason why VA (and EY) have pulled back from their lounge. Without Delta pax using it less reason.

Mind you if NZ lost VA and VS pax they wouldn't need a bigger space.

One of the dilemmas of VAs ownership and partners.
