According to the Australian Financial Review (AFR), British Airways was �furious� about the way Qantas handled the announcement of its deal with Emirates. Qantas resort and spa hotels announced plans to fly its passengers around Europe via Emirates, and will fly through Dubai to London, rather than via Singapore or Hong Kong as it has done for many years.
As part of the deal with Emirates, Qantas also cut its joint venture with British Airways for flights to London, although Qantas said that passengers who wanted to go through Singapore and Hong Kong could still take the final leg with BA. Now that appears unlikely.
The AFR reports that while commercial discussions are still continuing, both British Airways and Qantas are part of the oneworld alliance, so passengers will still reap some benefits flying either airline.
Consumers will be unable to book tickets to London via Singapore or Hong Kong through Qantas� website if the deal ends. For Qantas, this looms as a risk as the Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) has yet to approve its deal with Emirates. Should it fall through, Qantas may be forced to go cap in hand back to British Airways resort and spa hotels to renegotiate a deal.

Also from the information we are getting from out managers, QF and BA still have a great relationship. The ending of the JSA was annouced months ago, with Qantas saying they could continue to codeshare, say BKK-LHR, HKG-LHR or SIN-LHR on BA. It appears as if this just about not code sharing on THOSE routes. If you read Ben Sandliands blog you would think that ALL BA codeshares are coming to an end.
