2023-09-28: According to the Australian Airline Pilots Association (AFAP), a strike by pilots of Network Aviation, a subsidiary of Qantas Airways, is planned for Wednesday (4 October). This will primarily affect flights to industrial destinations such as mines and energy projects in western Australia. The strike was preceded by failed negotiations on pay increases for the pilots.
In case of a strike, major air traffic disruptions are to be expected. Delays and flight cancellations are likely. Before and after official strike hours, disruptions are also possible due to organisational reasons. Passengers are advised to contact their airline or tour operator about the current flight status in advance to their journey to the airport and to schedule additional time for their journey.
