IndiGo, India’s largest private airlines, has announced to lay off 10% of its workforce due to economic crisis induced by COVID-19 pandemic, its chief executive officer Ronojoy Dutta said. “It is for the first time in the history of IndiGo that we have undertaken such a painful measure,” Dutta said in a statement.
“From where things stand currently, it is impossible for our company to fly through this economic storm without making some sacrifices, in order to sustain our business operations,” Dutta added.
“Therefore, after carefully assessing and reviewing all possible scenarios, it is clear that we will need to bid a painful adieu to 10% of our workforce. It is for the first time in the history of IndiGo that we have undertaken such a painful measure,” he added.
