Qantas says it is considering moving out of its corporate headquarters in Sydney's Mascot and could shift to Western Sydney Airport or interstate as it prepares for life as a smaller company in the post-pandemic future.
The airline has decided to lay off close to a third of it workforce since the start of the COVID-19 crisis, or around 8000 workers, and on Tuesday said it was looking to shrink its physical footprint accordingly. "Like most airlines, the ongoing impact of COVID means we’ll be a much smaller company for a while," Qantas Group chief financial officer Vanessa Hudson said."We’re looking right across the organisation for efficiencies, including our $40 million annual spend on leased office space.
