Coronavirus: IndiGo to cut salaries of most staff from 1 April
NEW DELHI : IndiGo, India’s largest domestic airline, will cut salaries of a section of its employees as the Covid-19 pandemic severely curtails global demand for air travel.
In a communication to its staff on Thursday, InterGlobe Aviation Ltd, which operates IndiGo, said the salary cuts are being done to reduce costs in line with falling revenue.
“With a great deal of reluctance and a deep sense of regret, we are therefore instituting pay cuts for all employees excluding Bands A and B, starting 1 April 2020,” IndiGo’s chief executive officer (CEO) Ronojoy Dutta said in an internal email that was reviewed by Mint. A spokesperson for the airline confirmed Dutta’s email but declined to elaborate.
