Qantas and Jetstar have won a Federal Court case launched by a union after ordering aircraft engineers to stop work without pay amid the COVID-19 crisis.

From late March and early April, the airlines stood down hundreds of maintenance staff along with about 20,000 other employees including pilots and cabin crew.
