We’d like to say thank you. Thank you to all of our employees who worked so hard in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a difficult time for everyone and the work we did mattered more during this time than ever.
From our crew members who operated in the “Closed Loop” roster system, spending weeks at a time without seeing friends or family, to those who worked behind the scenes to implement new measures like our Fly Ready portal, these efforts were vital in keeping us all connected to the world.
Hear it from them: our people share their stories of challenges, hardships, triumphs, hope and resilience throughout the pandemic.
With a large reduction to our flight schedule, we protected more than 70 of our planes in Alice Springs, in the Australian desert. Pearl Sau, Line Maintenance Operations Manager and Benjamin Connell, Regional Engineering Manager Southwest Pacific, explain how our teams took on this unprecedented challenge.
