Jetstar is closing its Hobart crew base with the loss of 41 jobs, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. Jetstar spokesman Simon Westaway was reported saying that the decision, which takes effect on 1 May, would not affect the airline’s services to Tasmania.
Westaway added that the “regretful” restructure was forced by the troubled economic times and a strategic need to reorganise bases to expand services to Asia. Six pilots and 35 cabin crew would have the option of redundancy or moving to one of the airline’s mainland bases, although eight aircraft engineers will stay on in Hobart.
