Airport services company dnata turns to layoffs and unpaid leave -sources - Reuters:

Emirates Group’s airport services subsidiary dnata is laying off some employees and has placed thousands of others on unpaid leave after a large drop in business during the coronavirus pandemic, industry and company sources said.

Dnata, which employs 45,000 globally across its airport and travel services divisions, this month reported a 57% fall in annual profit after the pandemic shredded travel demand.

The business, which along with Emirates airline is an asset of Dubai state company Emirates Group, provides airport services at 95 airports in 15 countries and catering services at 60 locations in 12 countries.

Two sources said the company was making a number of jobs redundant at Dubai’s second airport, Al Maktoum, while three sources said that thousands of employees had been placed on unpaid leave around the world.
