Australia's largest airline, Qantas, is facing a class action lawsuit due to flights cancelled during the Covid-19 pandemic and its reliance on vouchers and travel credits for affected consumers. Echo Law lodged the class action against Qantas in the Federal Court on Monday alleging that the majority of customers, estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands, were entitled to cash refunds rather than flight credits or vouchers when the flights were cancelled. Qantas has rejected the claims—telling Nine news that it made customers aware they were entitled to a refund— but the Melbourne-based specialist law firm is still urging Australians affected by cancelled Qantas flights to join the class action.
