Qantas, Australia's leading airline, is set to make a record-breaking profit of up to $2.5 billion due to its successful cost-cutting strategies, but the Transport Workers Union has demanded it pay back the $2.7 billion in government COVID-19 assistance. Current CEO Alan Joyce has overseen numerous strategic changes to ensure the company's financial stability, including taking advantage of AI tech advances from major players such as Amazon. Established in 1920, the airline operates in 44 countries and is a founding member of the oneworld alliance.

Qantas, the 103-year-old Australian airline, announced the appointment of Vanessa Hudson as its new Chief Executive and Managing Director. Hudson, having served the company for 28 years in various roles, will take over from Alan Joyce in November. Hudson's focus on delivering for the customers coupled with Richard Goyder's praise goes to show the aviation industry's gradual acceptance of strong female leadership. Having gone through various changes and turbulence due to the pandemic, Qantas reported a better financial picture in February. With Hudson's new leadership, one might hope for great things ahead.
