The Dubai-based airline Emirates let go of more employees on Wednesday. The airline has laid off hundreds of pilots and cabin crew since yesterday, according to Reuters. A spokesperson for Emirates confirmed the redundancies, calling them a “difficult decision” resulting from the crisis in global travel due to the coronavirus pandemic.

“Given the significant impact that the pandemic has had on our business, we simply cannot sustain excess resources and have to right size our workforce in line with our reduced operations,” the spokesperson said in a statement sent to Al-Monitor. “We deeply regret that we have to let some of our people go.”

Emirates, one of the biggest airlines in the world, has experienced revenue losses and subsequent job cuts like other carriers in the Middle East during the pandemic. Late last month, the airline let go of trainee pilots and flight attendants.

Emirates and fellow United Arab Emirates airline Etihad Airways stopped almost all of their flights in March amid the novel coronavirus crisis and accompanying downturn in global travel.
