Dnata strikes 12th September

[squid01]

Just came across this article. Qantas ground handlers strike on 12 September

I’m flying ADL to PER on QF on the night of the 12th, with a connecting flight on MH from PER to KUL departing 2:10am on the 13th. Will any of these flights be effected by this strike action?

I am not sure - off to BKK on 11th so am monitoring.

How do you pronounce the name?

The article mentions Emirates and Etihad baggage handling potentially affected but no mention of Qatar

I’ve read that QF don’t use Dnata for domestic flights is that correct? So domestic flights shouldn’t be effected?

"De-NARta"

Swissport?

Do they manage the domestic flights at Adelaide? So worries about my ADL to PER flight on 12th. That’s is the first flight of a very complex OWCA with a dozen flights.

Looks like Dnata strike is going ahead on the 12th.
Dnata strike 12th of September - Bris, Syd and Adl.

Any idea what may happen with the QF flights due to arrive on that day?

Have a good week everyone.

Kind of looks like SQ have cancelled flights (to Singapore at least) on the 12th 13th and 14th, from SYD, ADL, BNE and MEL. At least I can't see the option to purchase any revenue fares on those flights and I spot checked a few on Expert Flyer and showing zero availability for all classes.

Another thread here: Dnata strikes 12th September

I'm starting my OWCA on that date, a domestic flight form ADL to PER but I'm sure it will get effected from all this mess

Mrs sudoer will be on the first QF SYD-HND departure on 12 Sep - other than packing an extra change of clothes in case of delayed baggage, and arriving at the airport very early, does anyone have other tips?

Her plan is to use all-day check-in and work from the F Lounge, but I'm wondering if a very early check-in would increase the risk of lost baggage. She's overseas for 6 weeks so HLO isn't an option.

So to confirm, domestic flights shouldn't be impacted from this as Dnata only manage international flights for QF?

Airport ground crews abandon strikes following pay agreement​

By Amelia McGuire​

Ground handling workers at Emirates-owned company Dnata have called off a protected strike action that would have disrupted three major airports after securing a pay increase and overtime entitlements.
After more than two years of negotiation, Dnata agreed to deliver a 17 per cent pay increase to all employees over a four-year period, protect overtime entitlements as well as increase opportunities for part-time employees to convert to full-time roles and casuals to permanent positions.
