The airline decided to slash its workforce after reducing flights by 95% due to border closures and lockdown measures, it said in a statement emailed to employees and seen by Agence France-Presse.
The company, which employs about 38,000 people, says it does not expect a return to normal for a long time. "Today we took the very painful decision to reduce our operations according to plan, which unfortunately means a reduction in our workforce by 50 to 60%," the email said."In the current economic climate, an operation on this scale is not viable for the future," the airline said.
"We are doing this to preserve our cash flow, to bring the size of the company in line with expected traffic levels over the medium and long term, and to position ourselves for renewed growth when business resumes."
