Qantas Group Engineering Academy

During the next ten years, the Qantas Group aims to generate more than 8,500 new positions, the company said this morning. The Qantas Group Engineering Academy will be established by Australia’s national airline in 2025 to help fill that pipeline of trained workers.

Now, the Qantas Group, which consists of Qantas, Jetstar, QantasLink, and Qantas Freight, employs about 23,500 people. When growth and natural attrition are taken into account, it will add more than 30,000 frontline workers over the next ten years, bringing its total workforce up to roughly 32,000.

To put things in perspective, the airline employed about 30,000 people before to COVID 2018, therefore a portion of the expansion announced today includes filling roles that were eliminated due to the epidemic.

With almost 300 new aircraft expected to arrive over the next ten years, Qantas is unquestionably in a growth mode.

They include the ground-breaking Project Sunrise Airbus A350-1000 widebody, which will fly nonstop from Sydney and Melbourne to New York and London, as well as the Airbus A321LR narrowbodies for Jetstar.

To keep up with the rapid expansion in the freight, resource, and leisure travel sectors, Qantas is also purchasing 22 mid-life and wet-leased aircraft over the next two years. These purchases will coincide with the arrival of all those new aircraft.

Alan Joyce, CEO of Qantas Group said

Alan Joyce, CEO of Qantas Group, stated that due to the long-term skills base needed, the airline is Australia’s largest single investor in aviation skills and that it relies on continuous renewal. He continued:

“We need to think long-term about the people and skills we need to operate them as we do when ordering airplanes, which can take up to ten years. An estimated 8,500 new aviation jobs would be created in Australia during that time, the most of which will require years of training.”

4,500 posts for cabin crew, 1,600 for pilots, 800 for engineers, and 1,600 for other operational responsibilities are among the 8,500 new jobs to which Joyce is alluding. Qantas will need to increase its capacity because a new aircraft will be delivered (on average) every three months for the next three years.

The moment is here to join if you have ever desired to work in aviation or for a national carrier.

Engineering Academy


Skilled aviation engineers were in short supply all around the world even before we had heard about COVID. The MRO industry had stopped concentrating on finding and training recruits as experienced mechanics were retiring, leaving the field, or getting laid off.

The decision by Qantas to create the new academy will be applauded throughout the industry since those chickens have finally come home to roost in all facets of aviation.

Qantas estimated that it will require about 200 new engineering hires yearly, even though the Engineering Academy could provide training for 300.

This is intended to increase the number of engineers in the more significant Australian aviation industry, where there is a shortage of trained workers, notably for the general aviation industry and defense contractors.

More women will be encouraged by Qantas to think about a career in aircraft engineering, and it will collaborate with business and labor groups to build the pipeline. Anybody interested in finding out more about the academy or a career as an engineer in aviation can express their interest on the Qantas website.

With the opening of the new Sydney Flight Training Centre, Qantas will expand its role as a leading aviation workforce educator. Qantas’ Pilot Academy was established in 2020. 4,500 new and existing Qantas Group pilots and crew will receive training at the new site beginning in early 2024, according to the airline.

In Sydney, there are also regular training sessions for about 150 cabin crew, and new cabin crew must complete more than 240 hours of training in their first six months.
