With losses further mounting in the aftermath of Covid-19 outbreak, Air India has decided to send some unspecified number of employees on ‘leave without pay’, mirroring a recent global trend to cut costs as planes have been grounded due to pandemic.
According to a scheme approved by the board of directors in its meeting held on July 7, employees can opt to take leave without pay ranging from six months or for two years and the same can be extended up to five years.
