Emirates announces layoffs of 9,000 workers.Dubai-based airline Emirates has announced it will lay off 9,000 workers due to financial losses caused by the coronavirus epidemic.
Sir Tim Clarke, president of Emirates Airlines, made the announcement, the BBC reported on Saturday (July 11).
For the first time, Emirates Airlines has announced how many workers it is going to lay off. Prior to the Corona crisis, the company had a total of 60,000 employees, according to the BBC.
Sir Tim Clark said their airline had already laid off 10 percent of its staff. However, some more people may need to be laid off, which could be up to 15 percent of the total workforce.
Aviation has been banned in almost all countries to prevent coronavirus. As a result, civil aviation is in trouble all over the world. This has severely damaged the airline industry. In an interview with the BBC, Sir Tim said: “We are still in a much better position than other airlines.
“It’s been one of the best years of our history,” he said. However, the current situation has marked the fate of the airlines as a reversal.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA), an alliance of airlines, predicts that the world’s airlines will lose more than 8,400 crore US dolar this year and lose at least one million jobs.
