Emirates Airline ‘laying off staff’

Emirates is letting go dozens of employees as the Persian Gulf carrier continues a push to streamline after years of rapid growth, according to sources.

The world’s biggest long-haul airline is scaling back senior cabin crew as well as the support department workforce including administration and IT.

The cuts at Emirates, which froze hiring last summer and hasn’t taken on new crew in months, began in the last few weeks and affect middle and upper-level managers.
