Qantas’ billion-dollar profit will allow the airline to invest in new aircraft, upgrade its customer lounge, and deliver bonuses to employees, explained CEO Alan Joyce.

Australia’s flag carrier delivered a $1 billion (US$680 million) net profit for the six months to Dec. 31, following a $456 million net loss a year earlier, as well as accumulated losses of $7 billion due to the pandemic lockdowns.
