Anyone coming to Australia for a holiday in the next few days? Are you flying with Qantas? Well check with the airline before you leave home, Qantas Airlines are grounded for the forseeable future. There is chaos at all airports as people try to get home to Australia or tourists try to come here. All flights have been grounded. Tourists are also trying to get home to the USA, Britain and everywhere else that Qantas flies to.

my son in law was due to fly from Adelaide to Brisbane for a job induction on Sunday morning..he was lucky enough to get a seat on another airline. What a dreadful mess for everyone :(

I saw it on the news this morning and was shocked that a company would just ground all the flights! What about the poor passenger's it's not their fault the airline's is in a mess. Have they offered any kind of compensation for the stuck travellers?

Glad to say the airline is back in the air and passengers are being processed as fast as possible.
