Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the airline has canceled all of its international flights through at least the end of May and pushed a decision on whether to order up to 12 Airbus SE A350-1000 planes for the Sydney-to-London flights to the end of the year from an earlier deadline of end-March. Mark Sedgwick, the president of the Australian and International Pilots Association , the union representing Qantas pilots, told Reuters that 85% had voted in favor of the agreement.
