Qantas Airways—Australia's flag carrier and world's third-oldest continuously operating airline (after KLM, Avianca)—employed 30,000 people as of 2020.
Workforce spans pilots, cabin crew, engineering, ground operations, corporate, loyalty (Qantas Frequent Flyer), and subsidiaries (Jetstar, QantasLink, Qantas Freight).
COVID-19 caused significant reductions (stand-downs, redundancies, early retirements). Recovery has been gradual; 2023–24 reports show rebuilding toward pre-pandemic levels.
