SAS could reduce its workforce by up to 5,000 full-time positions due to the current travel restrictions and plunging demand for travel during the coronavirus outbreak.
In a statement, SAS said it expected limited activity during the key summer season.
The company has already said it would temporarily lay off up to 10,000 employees – 90% of the airline’s total workforce – as the coronavirus brought international travel to a near standstill in March.
