Qantas in the United States

Join our dynamic American team

Qantas is Australia’s largest domestic and international airline connecting Australians to the world and is widely regarded as the world’s leading long-distance airline and one of the strongest brands in Australia. We employ over 30,000 exceptional individuals across the globe and together we fly over 50 million customers every year across Australia and around the world.

Qantas proudly recognizes the value and dedication of our employees across the globe and has a strong commitment to the U.S. We have been flying from Australia to the U.S. since 1954 and offer more than 40 nonstop flights per week between the two countries - more than any other airline – from Honolulu, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas/Fort Worth and New York.

For more than 90 years we have continued to provide outstanding service to our customers and continually operate at the forefront of aviation; we were the first to develop Business Class, the first to offer jet services across the Pacific, the first to operate a biofuel flight between the U.S. and Australia and the first airline to connect every continent (except Antarctica) to Australia.

Experience the unique blend of Australian and American cultures

We have a strong focus on building a diverse and multicultural workforce, balancing our unique Australian brand and values while embracing the cultures of the countries we operate to.

Our regional U.S. head office is based in our state of the art aircraft maintenance facility in Los Angeles. The 5.7-hectare site opened in January 2017 and combines corporate office space with a working aircraft maintenance facility, located minutes away from Los Angeles International Airport. The facility is one of North America’s largest commercial airline hangars and the first specifically designed to accommodate the Airbus A380.

Who can I work for and where?

In the U.S., we employ more than 100 results-driven, curious and forward-thinking employees working across a diverse range of commercial and operational functions. Outside of our Los Angeles base, our employees work in major cities including San Francisco, Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago, New York and Honolulu.

Join the team, share the pride

Being part of Qantas means working in a team environment built on the values of being genuine, optimistic, experienced, inventive and collaborative. We provide our people with a wide range of development opportunities, including onboarding programs, competency-based training, leadership development programs and on-the-job learning. You’ll be challenged to make the impossible possible and inspired to do the best work of your life. Along the way, you’ll have plenty of fun, meet amazing people and have experiences like no other. Qantas is an equal opportunity employer, so by coming to work for us, you’ll be part of an organisation that encourages diversity, supports charities and environmental initiatives. We encourage people of all backgrounds to apply for available opportunities.
