Flydubai in talks with staff as Covid-19 impact intensifies - Arabianbusiness:

Dubai-based low-cost carrier Flydubai has revealed talks are taking place with staff regarding their future employment with the company, as the airline battles against the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Employees had already agreed to take a three-month salary cut from April, ranging from 50 percent and 25 percent for certain pay grades, although junior members of staff were not impacted – this has been extended for an indefinite period.

While earlier this week it was announced that a number of staff had been asked to take unpaid leave.

A statement sent to Arabian Business on Thursday said: “We have constantly reviewed the evolving situation and the implications for our medium-term operations. The outcome has resulted in discussions with a number of our pilots and cabin crew regarding their future employment with the airline.”
