NEW DELHI : InterGlobe Aviation Ltd-operated IndiGo, the country’s largest domestic airline, has reimposed compulsory leave without pay (LWP) for all its employees amid the second wave of covid-19, which has resulted in a sharp decline in passenger traffic and revenues of airlines.
The airline had imposed LWP for its workforce last year due to the outbreak of covid-19 but subsequently withdrew this as bookings picked up earlier in 2021.
“Unfortunately due to the reduced capacity we will have to institute an LWP programme for all employees, which would range from 1.5 to 4 days depending on the employee group (except for Band A&B),” the airline informed its staff in an email on Monday.
