Montreal-based leisure airline Air Transat announced Monday morning that it is temporarily laying off “about 70 per cent” of its workforce.
In a release, the company specified that a total of 3,600 people will be out of a job for now, including all of its flight crew staff.
Some will continue working for up to a month, while others are laid off effective immediately. Transat executives who are not impacted by the layoffs have agreed to take a pay cut, the company said, as have members of its board of directors.
Until it halts all flights next month, the company is continuing to send planes abroad to bring Canadians back home from overseas. “None of our customers are stuck far from home, and we are in the process of bringing them back,”
