NEW DELHI : IndiGo will cut salaries of senior employees from May onwards and also implement a “limited, graded leave without pay program” for them during the months of May, June and July, its CEO Ronojoy Dutta said on Friday.
The aviation sector has been hit hard due to the suspension of all commercial passenger flights during the coronavirus-induced lockdown in the country which began on March 25. Bookings for flights have been cancelled till further orders.
“While we had paid employee salaries in full for the months of March and April, I am afraid that we are left with no option but to implement the originally announced pay-cuts from the month of May 2020,” Dutta told employees in an email which was seen by PTI.
