COVID-19: SAS Could Cut up to 5,000 Jobs

SAS said it was considering drastically reducing its workforce, cutting up to 5,000 jobs, due to the coronavirus pandemic

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.
