The Australian national airline, QANTAS, announced today that it will cut 1,500 jobs worldwide. Some 1,200 of the jobs will be lost from within Australia, and 300 from QANTAS operations around the world.
And the national air carrier says it has cancelled plans to have hired 1,200 new staff within Australia.
Qantas CEO Geoff Dixon attributed the bloodletting to two things: the surging price of oil and fuel, plus the airline’s pay dispute with its maintenance engineers.
More than 20 percent of head office and support jobs will get the axe, and the job cuts will happen before the end of this year.
