Australian carrier Qantas will eliminate 850 positions, moving many roles to India as part of a cost‑saving strategy.
Qantas, the flag carrier of Australia, announced a reduction of 850 jobs across its operations as part of a broader restructuring plan aimed at improving financial performance.
The airline said that a significant portion of the roles being eliminated will be transferred to its Indian operations, where it has been expanding its workforce in recent years.
The move is expected to affect employees in various departments, including customer service, IT and back‑office functions, with many affected staff offered relocation or severance packages.
Industry analysts say the decision reflects a trend among global airlines to cut costs by outsourcing non‑core functions to lower‑cost regions.
