NEW DELHI : India’s largest airline, InterGlobe Aviation Ltd-operated IndiGo, which flies one in every two domestic passengers, will lay off a tenth of its staff or about 2,700 people, to survive the disruptions caused by covid-19 pandemic, the chief executive of the airline Ronojoy Dutta said in a statement on Monday.
“And 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 said.
“Therefore, after carefully assessing and reviewing all possible scenarios, it is clear that we will need to bid a painful adieu to 10 percent of our workforce,” he added.
