Qantas to cut 400 jobs in Australia, 600 more in danger

Australian carrier Qantas will cut 400 jobs at its heavy maintenance base near Melbourne airport and 660 workers at another base are also at risk, media reports said on Tuesday.

Another similar one at Qantas's budget carrier Jetstar's homebase at Avalon Airport, also in Victoria, will not be viable beyond two years, it said.

The airline has three maintenance bases in Australia, with the other in northeastern Queensland state.

Qantas is considering various options at this stage and expects to make a decision by mid-May, the spokeswoman said.
