Qantas says it will stand down 2,500 staff as a lockdown in Sydney impacts air travel across Australia.
The furlough - affecting pilots, crew and airport workers - will last for at least two months, the airline said.
Qantas said it would pay staff until mid-August, after which they could apply for government support payments.
Since June, fresh Covid outbreaks have forced most Australian states to reimpose restrictions.
The highly contagious Delta variant has forced lockdowns in several cities and some state border closures.
The situation is most severe in Sydney. It is seeing about 200 new infections each day, despite being in lockdown since 26 June.
Nearly all states have banned travellers from Australia's largest city.
Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said the latest Delta outbreaks had led to thousands of cancelled flights.
Qantas and its budget carrier, Jetstar, had lost about 60% of their domestic business from May to July, he added.
A travel bubble with New Zealand has also been suspended.

A year ago, Australia was having 40 deaths a day.
Now they have about 2 a day.
And they are panicking harder.
Are people ever going to snap out of this?

Not enough.

Washington is rubbing it’s collective hands waiting to see how this works out for the aberrant Australian overlords who have abandoned all reason and morality.
Wow! a virus made them do the Tyranny! A virus made them forbid free speech! A virus imposed severe restrictions on movement.
Nope. The New South Wales government did all of that, without any serious reason to do so.
Australia has some of the lowest deaths and infection rates in the world, in spite of the government's actions.
The whole country is coming to a screeching halt; Mad Max in real time.
Sydney has a population of 5.3 Million.
How severe. (eyeroll)
200 positives daily equals an infection rate of .000038%
Right. And then if you factor in the death rate....
You’re gonna need an awful lot of lead zeros.
0.000000000000....
Why is no one asking the question "Why are they locking us up inside when the virus transmits mostly indoors?"
We are being led by criminals, liars, and idiots.
Washington state had 1500 deaths mostly in just two counties; Inslee locked the state down for two and a half months. Population: 7.5 million - severe restrictions for a year and a half.
A nation of Pooftahs!

Remember Australia started out as a penal colony for criminals, liars, and idiots.
Officials there obviously see citizens the same way today.
There has got to be a ton of roaring laughter in the politburo of China. They’ll write books on how they convinced westerners to kill their nations by exploiting the seeds of the Soviets.
