UAE: Etihad to Temporarily Cut Staff Wages Up to 50%
Staff at Etihad Airways have taken pay cuts of up to 50 percent as the coronavirus continues to wreak havoc throughout the aviation industry.
The Abu Dhabi-based carrier had originally announced plans to temporarily suspend all flights to and from the UAE capital for 14 days, starting at the end of Wednesday, although this was brought forward to begin on Tuesday following direction from the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, and the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).
Housing allowances and education assistance will continue to be paid over this period.
