KLM Sacks 6,000 Workers In Seven Months

Dutch carrier, KLM, has sacked a total of 6,000 staff members in seven months. The airline blamed the loss of jobs on the new variant of the COVID-19 pandemic which has threatened the airline in addition to newer travel restrictions. The current restructuring will mean that the airline has reduced capacity by at least 6,000 after sacking 5,000 staff last year due to the impact of the virus. Speaking about the job loss, KLM CEO, Pieter Elbers, said, “ln July 2020, we announced that 5,000 of our colleagues would have to leave KLM, after which we engaged with intensive consultation and cooperation with all social partners.” He added that the new measures were in line with the restrictions and dynamics the airline had to contend with since the start of the pandemic.
