Qantas’s chief executive said international travel might resume by the end of October if the country is fully-vaccinated, as the Australia’s largest airline announced losses in profits due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Alan Joyce told reporters Thursday the country’s flagship carrier suffered just over a billion Australian dollars’ loss in its profits in the first half of its trading year to the end of last December, as a result of international and domestic travel restrictions during the pandemic.
Joyce said in Sydney that the loss figures were stark, but won’t come as a surprise.
He named border closures, trading conditions as some factors for the loss.
