Qantas will slash international flights by 90 per cent until the end of May in a fresh round of coronavirus-related cuts equivalent to grounding 150 aircraft.

Qantas and Jetstar announced on Tuesday the additional, deeper reductions in their domestic and international flying schedules as travel bans intensify and consumers bunker down amid widening quarantine measures.
