By drastically reducing its workforce, Qantas hopes to raise $ 1.5 billion to finance its recovery plan. The Australian company will thus lay off 6,000 people out of a total of 29,000 employees. “The collapse of the billions of dollars in the economy does not allow us to maintain such a volume of employment. In addition to the loss of 6,000 jobs, 15,000 people will be put on technical unemployment. Today today we don’t have a job for them, but we will have some in the future “, said Alan Joyce, the CEO of the company.
Qantas intends to resume national traffic, because international traffic will wait. Nearly a hundred planes will remain on the ground for a year. The six Boeing 747s will never take off again. Like many airlines around the world, Qantas is experiencing a drop in demand for international flights due to the closure of borders.
