Qantas Freight has advised of planned protected industrial action involving Qantas Ground Services (QGS) and Australian Air Express (AAE) employees. The action is scheduled across the following windows:
| Location | Start | End |
|---|---|---|
| Brisbane | 4:00am AEST, Thu 24 Sep | 3:59am AEST, Fri 25 Sep |
| Sydney | 7:30am AEST, Thu 24 Sep | 7:29am AEST, Fri 25 Sep |
| Adelaide | 5:00am ACST, Thu 24 Sep | 4:59am ACST, Fri 25 Sep |
| Perth | 7:30am AWST, Thu 24 Sep | 7:29am AWST, Fri 25 Sep |
No action is currently scheduled in Melbourne, though customers with Victorian air freight should confirm directly given differing dates reported elsewhere.
Terminals will remain open, but freight processing times across the affected cities are expected to extend for the duration of the action. Time-critical and urgent shipments will be prioritised where possible.
We are monitoring the situation and liaising with Qantas Freight on the status of existing bookings. General bookings will continue to be managed under standard contingency arrangements.
