Partnerships
Oneworld Alliance Members
Collaborations within the Oneworld alliance—notably codeshares with American Airlines and British Airways—let Qantas offer 1,000+ global destinations without flying each route, boosting revenue per available seat kilometer (RASK) via partner-fed traffic. These agreements deliver seamless transfers and shared Frequent Flyer benefits across ~1,000 aircraft and 1,000+ daily long-haul services, and by late 2025 remain vital to defend market share versus non-aligned carriers.
Aircraft Manufacturers Airbus and Boeing
Qantas holds long-term supply agreements with Airbus and Boeing to manage a A$10+ billion fleet renewal, including Airbus A350-1000s for Project Sunrise and A321XLRs for domestic growth, requiring integrated technical, delivery and financing plans.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel Suppliers
As of 2025, Qantas has expanded SAF deals with bp, Shell, and Australian biofuel startups to secure ~100 million litres/year by 2030, supporting its net-zero by 2050 goal and aiming to cut lifecycle emissions of long-haul flights by ~20–30%. These partnerships include AU federal co-investment schemes (A$200m+ by 2024–25) to scale domestic SAF production and de-risk offtake for producers.
Financial and Retail Loyalty Partners
The Qantas Loyalty ecosystem sells Qantas Points to hundreds of partners—major banks like National Australia Bank (NAB) and retailers such as Woolworths—generating high-margin revenue; in FY2024 Qantas Loyalty reported A$1.8bn underlying EBITDA, driven largely by points sales and partner commissions.
That partner network embeds points into everyday spending for ~14 million members, keeping the frequent-flyer program central to Australian consumer behavior.
- Qantas Loyalty FY2024 underlying EBITDA A$1.8bn
- ~14 million members in loyalty ecosystem
- Major partners: NAB, Woolworths; hundreds total
- Points sales = high-margin, recurring revenue
Government and Tourism Authorities
Qantas partners with Tourism Australia and state agencies on joint marketing and route subsidies; in 2024 these joint campaigns helped drive a 12% YoY rise in international arrivals to Australia, supporting regional routes that received A$45m in subsidies in FY2024.
Qantas also maintains close ties with federal regulators to secure traffic rights and navigate policy—critical after 2023 bilateral talks that expanded capacity to Europe by 8% for 2024–25.
- Joint marketing with Tourism Australia — aided 12% rise in 2024 arrivals
- Regional route subsidies — A$45m in FY2024
- Regulatory engagement — 8% capacity increase to Europe for 2024–25

Loyalty Program Management
Managing Qantas Frequent Flyer uses advanced analytics to track 13.1m members' behavior and deliver personalized offers; the Loyalty business generated A$1.1bn underlying EBIT in FY2024, so data-driven targeting lifts ancillaries and retention.
