Qantas flight credit: Airline makes staggering backdown in a victory for every customer owed refunds or credit

Qantas customers who are owed travel credits by the airline will no longer have to use it up by the end of December, in a massive backdown by the airline. 

The carrier will no longer force Australians to cash in the $370million owed to passengers after CEO Alan Joyce copped heavy flak at a Senate hearing this week.  

The news was first reported by the Sydney Morning Herald on Thursday morning, citing multiple aviation sources. 

Daily Mail Australia has sought comment from Qantas.
