News that\u00a0Qantas\u00a0is looking to take stock of its property around the country has state governments jostling for prime position, with the national airline’s headquarters potentially an open question.<\/div>\n

Currently the airline operates facilities in multiple states \u2013 such as flight simulators and head offices in Sydney, Jetstar administrative spaces in Melbourne, and heavy maintenance spaces in Brisbane.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
To minimise some $40 million spent annually on leased office spaces, the airline said it is currently investigating solutions to move all of its office and maintenance facilities into a single state.<\/div>\n
