In the coming period, we can expect the largest round of layoffs in aviation history. The Emirates airline from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates has announced that it wants to lay off more than 30% of its staff in the coming years. The 30.000 jobs would be lost in the coming years, so that many employees can look for a suitable solution.

According to Bloomsberg, the number of proposed layoffs is in line with other airlines. In recent weeks, various airlines around the world have announced that they will lay off more than 25% of their staff. With a large society such as Emirates with more than 105.000 jobs, this is a significant number. Emirates would also plan to ground the A380s for as long as possible. The flights she will restart in the coming weeks will be operated by the B777s.
