United Airlines<\/strong>, one of the world’s largest airlines, said Tuesday that it will continue to cut flights soon as it has some 3,000 employees currently infected with Covid-19 in the midst of the wave of the omicron variant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. airlines have already been forced to cancel thousands of flights during the recent Christmas vacations due to staff shortages – coupled with bad weather – and United said it is continuing to adjust its operations in the short term to ensure it has enough workers, EFE reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other airlines such as American Airlines, JetBlue and Alaska Airlines had already announced they were reducing the number of flights in January for the same reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have about 3,000 employees currently positive for covid. As an example, on a single day at Newark (a major airport in the New York area) almost a third of the workforce was absent due to illness,” explained the company’s CEO, Scott Kirby, in a message to workers that was accessed by several media outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a workforce of some 70,000, that number of positives represents just over 4 % of the total employed by United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his message, Kirby noted, however, that no vaccinated workers are currently hospitalized, after the airline required its workforce to be immunized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Since our vaccination policy went into effect, the hospitalization rate among our employees has been 100 times lower than that of the general U.S. population,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kirby highlighted the effectiveness of the vaccines, noting that before they became mandatory, one United employee died every week from covid-19, while now there have been eight weeks without casualties among its vaccinated staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
