SINGAPORE -- Singapore Airlines will eliminate 4,300 positions, including 2,400 layoffs, due to the prolonged slump in travel demand stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, the company said Thursday, becoming the latest global carrier to announce big job cuts.
In addition to the layoffs, the company will eliminate 1,900 jobs through a recruitment freeze, attrition and voluntary retirement programs across its three airlines: Singapore Airlines, short-haul brand SilkAir and low-cost brand Scoot.
