Qantas is calling for mandatory vaccinations for airline workers. The airline is keen for all its frontline workers to be jabbed but wants to see a nationwide approach.
It has strongly encouraged workers to get vaccinated and offered paid time off for vaccination appointments.
"We’ve seen that just one Covid-positive employee can inadvertently shut down a freight facility or passenger terminal, which can have a big impact on the broader community," the airline said in reference to a Covid positive Qantas flight attendant who worked on six Queensland flights before testing positive.
