Qantas to Cut 850 Jobs, Outsource Corporate Roles to Accenture Amid AI Shift
Qantas Airways plans to cut about 850 jobs, roughly 3% of its Australian workforce, by mid-2027 as part of a multi-year technology partnership with Accenture. The airline will outsource some corporate functions, including finance, procurement, human resources, and marketing, with much of the work shifting to Accenture teams primarily based in India. Qantas cites rapid industry changes driven by artificial intelligence and aims to modernize systems and improve efficiency. The company intends to consult employees and unions and explore retraining and redeployment opportunities.
