Qantas Airways will report its 2013-14 results in the week starting 25 August 2014, and is tipped to have suffered a record loss of at least $A1.1bn. Analysts’ predictions for the underlying loss before tax are around $A770m, and there will also be major abnormal charges stemming from the downsizing moves at the carrier. Qantas CFO Gareth Evans says the company has shed some 2,200 staff so far and is aiming for a further 2,800 redundancies, to realise cost savings worth $A1bn
