The Dnata Travel Group is set to furlough a third of its UK team from the beginning of April, however a number of staff required to continue to support agents and customers with bookings will be retained.
The Gold Medal and Travel 2 parent said retained staff members will take a temporary pay cut of between 20% and 30% from the start of next month.
Dnata said the move had been made to ensure its brands “can welcome affected team members back to resume their responsibilities and recover full operations in the future”.
“While we’re confident we have taken all of the necessary available steps at this time to protect our brands and our people, we will continue to monitor the situation and keep further options open,” it added.
“We want to thank our staff and industry partners for their incredible professionalism and commitment during these difficult times, we are proud to be part of a sector which we know will return stronger when this period is over.”
