Qantas chief Alan Joyce, who says his airline can handle increased passenger volumes during the school holiday break, has pinned some of the blame for recent cancellations and baggage delays on airports | hijessicayun
Qantas chief Alan Joyce has expressed confidence the airline will be able to cope with increased passenger volumes during the upcoming school holiday break and attempted to pin some of the blame for recent cancellations and baggage delays on airports.
“We had to make the difficult decisions for flights to leave without bags, otherwise you have a knock-on effect where there’s huge delays and a meltdown.” “Over the long weekend all of our security screening lanes were open and fully staffed but there were challenges with staffing at airline check-in counters,” the spokesperson said.
Transport Workers Union national secretary Michael Kaine accused the airline of launching an “all out assault on secure jobs” through the redundancies and outsourcing.
