Air India on Thursday said it will not layoff any of its employees even as it navigates the Covid-19 outbreak, which has hit the civil aviation sector hard.
The national air carrier said a decision to this effect was taken by the Air India Board and the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
“Recent decisions of Air India Board regarding rationalisation of staff cost were reviewed in a meeting at the Civil Aviation Ministry this (Thursday) evening. The meeting reiterated that unlike other carriers which have laid off large number of their employees, no employee of Air India will be laid off,” Air India said on its Twitter handle.
