Passengers are facing another day of delays and disruption as Qantas ground crews and customs workers strike.
Qantas baggage handlers and ground crew have begun their latest round of industrial action, causing delays and cancellations for passengers across the country.
Qantas cancelled at least 14 domestic flights on Thursday and rescheduled around another 30 because of the action.
Transport Workers Union (TWU) members walked off the job at 6am (AEDT) in Sydney, with many rallying outside the domestic terminal.
Rolling work stoppages are due to be held by TWU members at capital city airports across the country throughout the rest of the day.
