Qantas has officially opened its new $55 million Material and Logistics Distribution Centre at Mascot in Sydney.
The 17,500 sqm facility houses components required to service Qantas’ mainline fleet.
Qantas’ executive general manager of engineering David Cox said the Sydney Distribution Centre was a significant investment by Qantas in its Australian engineering and maintenance operations.
"Qantas has invested more than $300 million dollars in its engineering and maintenance operations over the last five years.
"This demonstrates a strong commitment to growing our operations, upgrading existing facilities, expanding training and improving the way we do business,” he added.
In addition to the new distribution centre, Qantas has also invested $85 million in the establishment of its now Brisbane maintenance facility and $20 million on an upgraded Roll-Royce Engine Maintenance Centre of Excellence.
Cox said the new Sydney facility would provide significant benefits for Qantas Engineering and the Qantas Group.
