Senior employees of Vistara will go on compulsory leave without pay (LWP) for up to four days each in May and June to save money as airlines see business demolished due to coronavirus lockdowns across the world, said CEO Leslie Thng on Tuesday.
Vistara had sent the same set of senior employees on compulsory LWP for up to six days in April.
The compulsory no-pay leave will affect around 1,200 employees in senior grades. The remaining 2,800 employees of the airline such as members of cabin crew and ground handling services will be unaffected.
“We will continue with the difficult decision to reduce staff costs to preserve jobs,” Thng said in an email to employees that has been accessed by PTI.
