QANTAS has today grounded all its domestic and international flights.

The airline made the announcement at 5pm this evening.

In a shock move, Mr Joyce announced at a news conference just minutes ago that he planned to lock out all workers in dispute with Qantas from 8pm Monday night.

Because of the severity of the measure, the airline was grounding all flights immediately, he said.

Flights in the air would land at their destinations as normal but no other Qantas flight would take off until further notice, Mr Joyce said.
