SYDNEY -- Australia's Qantas Airways warned Thursday that revenue for the current fiscal year will plunge by roughly 60% owing to the coronavirus pandemic and said travel restrictions will persist for months.

The top line figure for the year through June 2021 is expected to drop by 11 billion Australian dollars ($8.12 billion). Australia's top airline forecasts another annual net loss after losing AU$1.96 billion a year earlier.
