Qantas Group

The Qantas Group CEO's early exit comes as the embattled Australian airline faces legal action over allegedly selling tickets for canceled flights.

Qantas has ordered more Boeing 787s and Airbus A350s to replace its A330s, and said the A350-1000 will take over its A380 routes one day.

Aircraft arriving this year will help accelerate a transition phase for the country’s carriers.

The Qantas Group’s incoming CEO Vanessa Hudson has named the senior leadership team she will work with, which includes some familiar names and new additions.

The Qantas Group is due to add more aircraft to its operational fleet next month as the airline continues to rebuild its international network.

Routes selects 50 new air services set to start around the world in December, looking at the planned frequency, start date and aircraft to be used.

The latest exit follows confirmation that Rex is ending its Albury-Melbourne route after 39 years.

The new fund hopes to incentivise international airlines to recommence flights to Sydney.

Qantas will ground 100 aircraft for up to a year, with CEO Alan Joyce admitting that he does not expect the Australian flag carrier to resume international services in any significant way for another 12 months.
