Swiss International Air Lines plans to cut roughly 1,000 jobs over the next two years through voluntary measures rather than layoffs, its outgoing Chief Executive Thomas Kluehr said in remarks published on Saturday, Reuters reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swiss government has granted the airline more than 1 billion euros ($1.17 billion) in loan guarantees to help it cope with the collapse in air travel due to the pandemic. Like many of its peers it decided to shrink its staff and fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are initially relying on three socially acceptable measures: a hiring freeze, part-time models with salary reductions, and early retirement,\u201d Kluehr told newspaper Schweiz am Wochenende, adding that based on staff fluctuations in recent years it should be possible to cut 1,000 jobs without layoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swiss and Edelweiss Air, a much smaller sister airline, have 10,475 employees, according to the Lufthansa Group’s second-quarter financial report here. Swiss has roughly 9,500 staff, Schweiz am Wochenende said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kluehr, whose successor has yet to be announced, said the airline industry\u2019s current crisis should last three to five years. In terms of job cuts much would depend on how quickly the market recovers, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
