Qatar Airways has warned it is planning to cut jobs due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“The unparalleled impact on our industry has caused significant challenges for all airlines and we must act decisively to protect the future of our business. As a result, Qatar Airways can confirm that the airline will make a number of roles redundant due to the impact of COVID-19.,” the airline said in a statement.
Qatar Airways said any job loss is “regrettable” and that it intends to enable employees to rejoin when possible when the circumstances improve.
The airline for now did not say how many jobs will be cut.
