Pakistan International Airline (PIA) decided on Sunday to send employees of the rotation form to save unnecessary costs due to the non-deployment of the personnel.
In a statement on this, the national flagship management called on department heads to prepare workers for paid vacation before April 14, when the first paid vacation cycle began on April 16
As you know, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the performance of our airlines in general and flight operations have been specifically reduced to a minimum / zero.
Unfortunately, no one can predict how long this situation will continue", he said.
In order to reduce unnecessary costs due to staff shortages and associated costs, it was decided that workers in all areas could be sent 10 days on rotating leave on leave, adding that all workers without exception were paid paid holidays each month (a third person for 10 days, then a third, etc.).
However, he added that this rotation of the paid blades should be planned in such a way that the minimum requirements for personnel are met in order to avoid interruption of the operation, taking into account the type of task.
In case of an extremely difficult work / function requirement, it can also be transferred to civil servants," the statement concluded. Meanwhile, it emerged on Sunday that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) suffered a loss of Rand of $ 13,394 trillion as a result of air travel costs in March after international flight operations were halted amid coronavirus epidemics.
This was revealed in an email to the Co-Secretary and Director of Aviation on the PIA Director's additional account. The CAA had already extended its ban on all operations outside the barrage of private and chartered aircraft during the coronavirus pandemic.
At the request of the Federal Government, the Aviation Authority has announced the extension of the closure of all types of operations, including national and international.
In addition, special flights are carried out to bring stranded Pakistanis back from the different countries.
