Alan Joyce has pledged to maintain a handful of international flights beyond Qantas’ March grounding to bring stranded Australians home.

Qantas Group shares came perilously close to dropping below $2 on the day the airline announced it was suspending two-thirds of its staff.

The Qantas Group this morning announced it would suspend two-thirds of its 30,000 staff and cancel all international flights from late March.

In a drastic move, Qantas group has announced extensive changes to its network including the cancelling of international flight due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. The changes include revised mainland and regional networks and suspended routes and both Qantas and Jetstar scheduling.
