The launch of the daily schedule will boost overall weekly capacity on the route by 15 per cent. "Our Brisbane to Los Angeles service is a strong performer and upgrading it to daily will improve the travel options for customers heading to the United States from Queensland, which has great links to our domestic and regional networks," said Joyce. Details of the plans were revealed as Qantas celebrated the first day of its new trans-Tasman partnership with Emirates Airline. The two airlines have aligned fares and switched on codesharing on around 130 flights a week between Australia and New Zealand. The schedule change on Sydney-Christchurch and the new Perth-Auckland route are in-part enabled through this partnership. "At the core of turning around Qantas International is making it the best airline for global travellers. These network changes are brought about through smarter use of our assets and our partners to deliver a truly premium experience service for our customers," said Joyce.
