housands of New Zealand travellers face disruption as a result of planned strikes by Qantas engineers in Australia from January 9.
About 1700 engineers are to down tools for four-hour rolling stoppages in support of a demand for a 5 per cent pay rise. The airline has offered 3 per cent.
It could be the biggest disruption to air travel in Australia since a 1989 pilots' dispute, which grounded domestic flights for months.
