Qantas Group has unveiled plans to outsource its ground handing operations in the country as it braces for a A$10b drop in revenue amid the Covid-19 crisis. The move, if implemented, will impact up to 2,500 jobs. The company plans to outsource its ground handling operations at ten airports where it provides in-house services. The step will cut around 2,000 jobs, including some management roles. In addition, Qantas intends to outsource its bus services at Sydney Airport, a move that will lay-off 50 employees. The airline will conduct two separate reviews on these two proposals. It is expected to be completed in the next few months. Jetstar Airways, Qantas Group’s budget airline, will also outsource ground handling services at six airports, cutting around 370 jobs. The move is subject to union consultation.<br/>
