Goyder's announcement comes just weeks after he insisted before the Senate that he still had the backing of the majority of Qantas' biggest shareholders.
Richard Goyder will quit as Qantas chair next year as the company continues to seek to repair its damaged reputation. Goyder will retire before the airline's annual general meeting of shareholders in October 2024, following a number of calls his position had become untenable. He had insisted before the Senate late last month that he still had the backing of 14 of the company's 20 biggest shareholders.
The Transport Workers' Union called for Goyder to "follow Joyce out the door" immediately. "Today's announcement of a 2024 exit is an attempt by Goyder to leave in a dignified manner with another year's pay in his pocket — after presiding over the largest case of illegal sackings in Australian history," it said in a post on X, formerly know at Twitter.
