Union officials have warned that any move by Qantas to shift operations offshore and set up a premium airline in Asia will provoke a community backlash.
Union officials have warned that any move by Qantas to shift operations offshore and set up a premium airline in Asia will provoke a community backlash.
Australian and International Pilots Association president Barry Jackson said reports that Qantas wanted to base much of the airline in Asia would set off alarm bells in the community.
“Australians want Qantas, not ‘Qantasia’,” he said. “The Qantas Sale Act of 1992 was designed specifically to prevent this sort of move happening. Obviously, Qantas’s lawyers believe they’ve found a tricky way around it, so they are now looking at how best to pack the business up out of Australia and into Southeast Asia.”
