Embattled Qantas Chairman Richard Goyder and new CEO Vanessa Hudson will be grilled at a Senate inquiry into the aviation industry.The Senate inquiry will be looking into the federal government’s decision to block extra Qatar Airways flights into Australia.
There are calls from the union, pilots and politicians for Mr Goyder to follow former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce and leave the company. The big issues expected to dominate the inquiry include allegations that Qantas sold tickets to already cancelled flights, the illegality of Qantas sacking more than 1,700 of its staff in the middle of the pandemic and Mr Joyce’s departure.
