https://www.businessinsider.com.au/qant ... es-2020-11Qantas will go ahead with outsourcing its ground handling operations, which will result in the loss of 2000 jobs.
This comes after the airline announced plans to restructure its ground handling operations – including services like aircraft cleaning and baggage handling – and went on to review bids from both external and in-house ground handling service operators on how to make these services more efficient.
The bids had to outline ways they would reduce the overall cost of ground handling operations, avoid huge spending on ground handling equipment and better match the costs of Qantas’ ground handling services with fluctuating levels of demand.
Qantas believed it could save around $100 million a year from using external service providers.
Outsourcing for inferior, and possibly dangerous, services whilst the little Irish gnome took home $23.8 million last year.
