Hong Kong airlines to cut jobs and forcing staff to take unpaid leave

Hong Kong Airlines has asked their staff to take 2 weeks unpaid leave each month until the end of June, or to work 3 days a week in the same period. At the same time the company says they are planning to slash 400 jobs completely from the airline.

Hong Kong Airlines also has announced that they will reduce their daily flights from 164 to 60 until the end of March, due to the reduced demand due to the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) outbreak.

Hong Kong Airlines was close to having to cease operations in December last year, so it will be interesting to see what effect the latest troubles has for the company.
