Qantas boss Alan Joyce will depart the airline two months earlier than scheduled amid mounting controversies.
Mr Joyce was set to leave in November, after 15 years as chief executive, but will now exit the role immediately.
He said recent attention on “events of the past” made it clear this is “the best thing” he could do.
He said recent attention on “events of the past” made it clear this is “the best thing” he could do.
In the past two years it has faced a slew of criticism for expensive airfares, mass delays and cancellations, and its treatment of workers.
And on Thursday Australia’s consumer watchdog – the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) – announced it was taking legal action against the airline over allegations it had sold tickets to more than 8,000 flights it had already cancelled.
The lawsuit means the national carrier is now facing legal action on three fronts.
It is also appealing against a ruling it illegally outsourced thousands of jobs during the pandemic, and fighting a class action from customers over its inflexible flight credit scheme.
Shareholders are now under pressure from some groups – including some parliamentarians – to vote down Mr Joyce’s final remuneration package.
