Emirates Airlines President Sir Tim Clarke has said that Emirates Airlines is going to cut at least 9000 jobs in the coming days due to the Corona virus crisis.

This is the first time that the world's largest international airline has told how many people are going to be fired.

Before this crisis came to the fore, 60 thousand people worked at Emirates Airlines.

Sir Tim Clarke has said that airlines have already laid off ten percent of their employees. But we may have to lay off some more of our employees, perhaps 15 percent of the total.

The global aviation industry has been severely affected by the Corona virus as work has been stalled for the past several months.

In an interview with the BBC, Sir Tim Clarke said that his airlines were not affected as badly as other airlines.

Tim Clarke said that this year was going to be one of the best years for Emirates, but Emirates' current situation shows that Emirates has seen a huge drop in earnings.

Employees of Emirates Company are also worried about the coming days due to dwindling jobs in the aviation sector.

According to the staff, the lack of transparency and communication from the airlines has led to disappointment.

This week, 700 out of 4500 pilots of airlines have been given redundancy notices. This means that after the Corona virus crisis, at least 12 people have been told that they are leaving their jobs.

Due to this crisis the jobs of those who fly Airbus planes are going away.

It does not seem to have much effect when the Boeing aircraft flown.

Emirates uses the Superjumbo Airbus A380 for its airlines that can carry up to 500 people at a time.

At the same time, fewer people travel on Boeing 777 aircraft and they are easy to fill even during this, global crisis when international flights are running low.

With this, thousands of cabin crew employees have also been informed that the company does not need them at the moment.
