En plein virage vers l’IA, la compagnie aérienne Qantas va licencier 850 employés
The Australian airline has also reached an agreement with Accenture to modernize part of its IT systems, which will lead to the relocation of some activities to India.
Australian airline Qantas announced Tuesday it will lay off 850 employees starting in mid-2027 and relocate some operations to India, as the company embraces artificial intelligence (AI). "We know this will be bad news for some of our employees, and this decision does not reflect their contribution or commitment," said Vanessa Hudson, chief executive of Australia's largest airline. "The scale and speed of change in this area is unprecedented and unlike anything businesses have experienced for generations," she said of the AI revolution.
Qantas also indicated that it had reached an agreement with the consulting firm Accenture for the overhaul of certain IT systems, which involves the relocation of activities to India, without the number of positions concerned being known at this stage.
The airline also said it was about to begin "the largest fleet renewal in its history." In addition to the 17 new aircraft from the previous financial year, Qantas is expected to add 31 more in the next, according to results published earlier this year.
