Jetstar is hiring 75 foreign pilots, in a move it said was needed to address the chronic pilot shortage.
AAP quoted Fairfax as saying that the move wa was expected to be opposed by aviation unions.
“We are in a global industry and we should be able to source a global talent pool,” Jetstar Chief Executive Alan Joyce was quoted saying.
The pilots will be used on Jetstar’s domestic and international routes. The report said Jetstar had also recently hired 20 foreign cabin crew and has government approval to hire up to 60 more.
