Tim Clark, president of the United Arab Emirates Emirates, the largest airline in the Middle East, told the BBC that the Corona19 crisis could cut down to 15% of employees.
The airline employs about 60,000 people and can lose up to 9,000 people.
This is the first time that Middle Eastern airlines have the largest sales and the number of speculations has been overlooked, despite the fact that Emirates has a relatively strong financial position.
"Emirates' conditions aren't as severe as other airlines," Clark said. "I expected this year to be the best year before the corona 19 pandemic, but the current situation has changed rapidly."
On March 25, Emirates suspended all passengers on 157 routes, except for cargo planes and special planes for withdrawal purposes.
We plan to resume operating regular routes from last month and re-operate 58 routes until the middle of next month.
