Changes to Qantas Group Management

The Qantas Group has confirmed that due to the impact of the current global financial situation, it is removing 90 current senior management positions, maintaining a salary freeze and making a number of role changes for remaining managers.

Qantas Chief Executive Officer, Mr Alan Joyce, said, "We will be making some longer term organisational changes to the management of the Qantas Group to develop a leaner, more fast-moving organisation."

"This means a number of managers will be leaving the company. The ongoing management team are being asked to take on new tasks and we are asking every manager to work with his or her team to achieve more operational efficiency in coming months.

"These changes will mean fewer overheads and reduce the number of layers between those leading the business and those working with our customers, our aircraft and business partners.

"Unfortunately, introducing a flatter, leaner structure means making some tough decisions about which managers will go and who will stay.

"I want to extend my thanks to those that will be leaving for their efforts. We will be working with everyone in that situation to ensure that we assist them to deal with the transitions they face as much as we can," added Mr Joyce.
