It all comes as oil prices fell 30% after OPEC’s talks failed and Saudi Arabia said it would boost oil production in a bid to increase its supply and market share. 

Qantas (QAN) announced it's slashed international flights and roughs, cutting a quarter of international capacity for the next 6 months.
