Qantas to Slash Hundreds of Jobs, Send Roles Overseas
The airline said the move will modernise back-end systems and reduce duplication as the first phase starts in finance, procurement, people and marketing.
- On Tuesday, Qantas CEO Vanessa Hudson announced plans to cut approximately 850 jobs and outsource corporate operations to Accenture, with most services delivered in India.
- Hudson stated the changes are designed to "modernise the technology behind our business and becoming more efficient," aiming to simplify legacy IT systems and adapt to artificial intelligence.
- The outsourcing initiative impacts finance, procurement, people, and marketing branches, with the first phase of cuts scheduled to take effect by the middle of next year.
- Qantas will begin a consultation process with employees and the Australian Services Union over coming months, as Hudson pledged to look for redeployment and retraining opportunities for affected staff.
- These personnel reductions follow Qantas Group's recent capacity cuts, as the airline navigates high fuel costs that previously shaved $420 million off its 2025/26 annual profit.
