Qantas Airways Limited
(ASX:QAN) may sack as many as 300 maintenance engineers and staff at Avalon Airport by next year, and has also flagged moving its heavy maintenance work to Brisbane.
The airline says it will review the future of Avalon, where its fleet of Boeing 747 aircraft is maintained.
The review, to be completed by the end of October, follows an earlier round of sackings at Avalon.
Last year, 263 engineering and maintenance jobs at Avalon went and the work was moved to Brisbane.
The jobs to be reviewed over the next six weeks are those of all the remaining maintenance staff.
Qantas generated a net profit of $6 million in fiscal 2013.
