Qantas cancels 400 Australia domestic flights over next month

Qantas cancels 400 Australia domestic flights over next month:

CANBERRA, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- Australian airline Qantas on Saturday announced to cancel 400 domestic flights due to on-going engineer strike.

Workers from the airline's engineering, long-haul pilots and ground crew unions have held strikes across Australia's airports, using public address systems to criticize Qantas and banned overtime as they seek higher pay and job security clauses in contracts.

According to Qantas spokeswoman Olivia Wirth, the fallout of ongoing disputes with pilots, unions and engineers is likely to cause disruptions throughout the Christmas period and beyond.
