Qantas To Suspend All International Flying
Australia's flag carrier decided to “stand down” two-thirds of its workforce as overseas flying ceases.

Qantas and its low-fare Jetstar subsidiary will suspend all scheduled international flying as of late March following an Australian government advisory to all citizens not to travel overseas, Qantas Group announced Thursday. Although it plans to retain 60 percent of its domestic flying, the company has decided to temporarily lay off two-thirds of its 30,000-strong workforce until at least the end of May.
