Joyce apologises for grounding QantasPublished 1:36 PM, 7 Dec 2011

Qantas Airways Ltd chief Alan Joyce has apologised for grounding the carrier's entire fleet, saying he knows it hurt the tourism industry.
Qantas grounded its fleet in October ahead of a planned staff lockout, saying it would have been unsustainable to manage ongoing industrial action by pilots, ground staff and engineers.
The travel plans of thousands of Qantas passengers were thrown into chaos as a result.
"I'd like to acknowledge with great regret the impact this unavoidable decision will have had on a number of tourism operators," Mr Joyce told an Australian Tourism Export Council conference in Sydney on Wednesday.
"I know it hurt the tourism sector.
"But it was the only way to bring an end to the industrial action that would have had a far more damaging long-term impact on Qantas and, of course, tourism in this country."
He noted that passenger numbers had now rebounded.
"The good news is that all the union disputes are now over and subject to binding arbitration in Fair Work Australia," he said.
"We can now provide absolute certainty for our passengers and this has led to a really strong recovery in forward bookings.
"Since the termination of industrial action by Fair Work Australia, we've seen customers return quickly and strongly to Qantas."
