Emirates Lays Off 9,000 People!

Emirates, the United Arab Emirates' international airline, lays off 9,000 people. The coronavirus epidemic, which caused great damage to many countries in economic and social areas, also affected Emirates, one of the largest companies in the world. Emirates President Sir Tim Clark made a statement on the issue of dismissing workers, which has been rumored for a long time. Clark announced that they would lay off about 9,000 people because of the economic challenge caused by the coronavirus epidemic. It is said that the Dubai-based airline, which is stated to be the first to employ workers since its establishment, suffered serious economic damage due to the epidemic. "We will probably have to employ up to 15 percent," said Tim Clark, the company's CEO, with around 60,000 employees. While it is stated that the layoffs will be made from all levels of the company, it has been announced that about 700 pilots have been given a layoff notice this week.
