Qantas has suffered significant damage to its standing after it was inundated with customer complaints about cancelled flights, lost luggage, poor service, difficulties using travel credits and high airfares. “As a board, we acknowledge the significant reputational and customer service issues facing the group and recognise accountability is required to restore trust,” Goyder said. The retirement of the three directors is in addition to the previously announced departure of board member, Michael L'Estrange at the company’s November 3 annual general meeting.
