Announcement follows statement from Qantas pilots calling for Goyder’s resignation for role in ‘one of the most damaging periods’ in airline’s history
Qantas’s embattled chair, Richard Goyder, will appear before a Senate inquiry into the Albanese government’s decision to reject Qatar Airways’ request to almost double its flights into Australia as he faces widespread calls for his resignation.
But Qantas’s opposition to Qatar Airways’ expansion, and its lobbying efforts in Canberra, are expected to be front and centre. The Virgin Australia CEO, Jayne Hrdlicka, representatives of Qatar Airways, as well as two former Australian Competition and Consumer Commission chairs, Allan Fels and Rod Sims, will also give evidence before the hearing in Canberra on Wednesday.
The Australian and International Pilots Association president, Tony Lucas, said on Tuesday the morale of Qantas pilots has “never been lower”, calling for Goyder to lose his position.
