The news comes days after Qantas upgraded its half-year profit forecast by an extra $150 million and suggests the entire domestic sector is benefitting from strong consumer demand.
The high figures are largely a result of airlines being slow to return in numbers to Australia, with capacity – or seats for sale – down 45 per cent on pre-pandemic levels.
The FAAA’s action could include strikes for up to 24 hours, overtime bans, and a “withdrawal from boarding responsibilities”, which could include staff remaining on the aircraft as passengers walk on the plane.
It comes despite Qantas being ranked as the worst airline for cancellations earlier this year. However, this week it bounced back to become the top-performing carrier.
In a surprise statement, the Flying Kangaroo said on Wednesday that limits on international capacity were driving consumers to instead holiday in Australia, allowing it to raise its forecasts again.
Brisbane Airport has revealed the busiest times at its domestic terminal will likely be at 100% of 2019 passengers during the holidays, with other major airports almost certain to make similar predictions.
