Qatar Airways will slash some pilots' salaries and make others redundant to offset the revenue collapse caused by the novel coronavirus travel crisis, it said in a memo seen by AFP.

Qatar Airways' most senior pilots “will be subjected to a 25 per cent reduction” in salaries, chief flight operations officer Jassim Al Haroon wrote in a memo dated June 4.

“In the upcoming weeks many of our captains, senior first officers, first officers and cadet pilots will be made redundant,” Haroon wrote, without specifying how many would be let go.
