Qantas engineers are planning more strike action for Friday and Saturday, causing further disruption to the airline's schedules.

Qantas expects to cut 19 flights on Friday (27 June) and three on Saturday (28 June), the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

The airline has been forced to cancel dozens of flights this week as members of the Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association (ALAEA) stopped work. The union is demanding a 5% pay rise for 1,500 engineers, while the airline has offered 3%.

Qantas has said that, with fuel prices continuing to rise, it has no intention of changing its wages policy.
