The Dubai state airline laid off hundreds of pilots and thousands of cabin crew on Tuesday in a bid to stave off a cash crunch caused by the coronavirus pandemic, sources told Reuters.
More redundancies were expected this week, including both Airbus (PA:AIR) A380 and Boeing (N:BA) 777 pilots, the sources said on Tuesday.
