Qantas has advised that it will terminate a long-standing alliance with China Eastern Airlines, although it will honour all existing bookings. The Australian Competition & Consumer Commission had signalled in September that it would oppose an application to extend the partnership. Qantas recently abandoned a $614m takeover bid for Alliance Aviation after the deal was opposed by the ACCC, while the competition watchdog is also pursuing legal action over allegations that Qantas had sold tickets for flights that it had already cancelled.
