The mechanics’ union has told its 1,600 members around Australia to walk off the job for an hour from 9 a.m. Friday local time. Work will stop at 2300 Greenwich Mean Time Thursday on Australia’s east coast and at 0100 GMT in the west.
Qantas executive Lyell Strambi said in a statement Thursday that the airline has canceled 31 domestic flights and delayed 46 flights, most of them domestic. No international flights have been canceled.
