SYDNEY - Qantas Airways needs executives from head office to leave their jobs for three months and haul luggage full-time to address a stubborn labour shortage that's disrupting flights.
The airline is looking for at least 100 volunteers to carry out shift work at Sydney and Melbourne airports, Chief Operating Officer Colin Hughes wrote in a note to managers that was shared by Qantas Monday . Tasks include loading and unloading luggage, as well as driving the vehicles that take bags to planes and between terminals.
"To be clear, there is no expectation that you will opt into this role on top of your full-time position," Mr Hughes told managers."It's our singular company focus to support our teams to get our operation back to where it should be."The world's depleted aviation industry is struggling to cope with a faster-than-expected surge in traffic, while airlines are also being hit with Covid-19-related staff absences.
