Qantas to cut 850 Australian jobs, outsource work to India under AI overhaul
With 850 Australian positions slated for elimination and tasks being shifted overseas to India, Qantas is undergoing a major transformation powered by artificial intelligence.
This move by the Australian airline comes as CEO Vanessa Hudson noted the company is navigating an "unprecedented" technological upheaval, signaling a broader trend of workforce disruption across the Australian business landscape. These operational shifts constitute the third significant corporate reduction in staffing announced within Australia over the span of three weeks, following similar restructuring announcements made by Canva, the design firm, and the National Australia Bank.
