Qantas says it is assessing the impact the actions will have on its flight schedules, and is evaluating contingency measures to “minimise impacts on passengers”.
“This is one of our busiest weekends of the year with tens of thousands of people travelling around Australia for the football and for the school holidays on Friday alone,” Qantas group executive Olivia Worth said. “The union knows this and they are trying to cause maximum disruptions to passengers.”
