Joyce in talks with Andrews to shift Qantas to Melbourne, say reports

Qantas CE Alan Joyce has already visited Melbourne to hold talks with Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews regarding the possibility of shifting its headquarters to the city, according to reports. The state is seeking to woo the 5,000 positions currently based in Sydney and also protect the 1,000 roles located at the Collingwood home of subsidiary Jetstar. In September, the business announced it was mulling shifting all its bases to one city, as part of a review into its office space caused by downsizing its workforce. The Sydney Morning Herald also claimed the pair spoke about how to increase flights in and out of the state while Joyce personally scouted out locations that could house a new HQ. Premier Andrews has spoken openly about his ambition to shift Qantas roles to Melbourne.<br/>
