Qantas

This is a challenging day for our industry and we are sad to see Rex enter voluntary administration with the immediate suspension of its Boeing 737 operations. We know this will be a difficult period for many Rex customers and employees and we stand ready to assist. Rex customers impacted by cancelled flights due to the grounding of their domestic jet services can contact Qantas and Jetstar to be reaccommodated on the same route as their original booking at no charge, where we have seats available. Customers with an impacted Rex booking can contact Jetstar on Live Chat or 13 15 38 and Qantas on 13 13 13 to make a booking. They have until 31 August 2024 to take up the offer. If Rex employees would like to discuss opportunities within Qantas or Jetstar, particularly in specialised fields which are unique to aviation, we’ve set up a dedicated link on our careers websites: https://bit.ly/46wrapg

Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise and it’s going to take partnerships across industries to help close the gap between the supply and demand of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). We’ve joined with Airbus, Air France-KLM, Mitsubishi HC Capital America, Inc., BNP Paribas, AEG FUELS and Burnham Sterling Asset Management (as fund manager) to help accelerate global production of SAF. The Sustainable Aviation Fuel Financing Alliance (SAFFA) fund has been formed to invest in SAF technology development and production projects with an initial focus on opportunities that repurpose existing infrastructure. Our investment in the SAFFA fund will help us access SAF sooner in key overseas markets and help drive the development of the overall industry, while we maintain our strong focus on Australian projects to accelerate the establishment of a domestic industry.

How special is this? ❤️ Meet Qantas cabin crew Jacquie, whose son Angus is heading to Paris to compete in his first Olympic Games.

The future of travel is coming. Over the past several months, a dedicated team from Qantas, Airbus, the University of Sydney's Charles Perkins Centre, and Caon Design Office have been working at Airbus’ Hamburg Facility to create and test hundreds of lighting patterns and sequences in an A350 cabin mock-up. These unique and customisable cabin lighting patterns and sequences are inspired by the colours of the Australian landscape and are to minimise jet lag and improve customer wellbeing on our ultra-long-haul flights.
