EXPATS working at Bahrain's national carrier will not receive severance packages if they are made redundant, as part of the airline's plan to cut costs, it has emerged.
Officials said Bahraini pilots will not lose their jobs as a result of Gulf Air's restructuring scheme, but confirmed the airline has stopped recruitment in all departments.
It comes as around 1,800 jobs could be axed as part of a deal to secure a BD185 million government bailout.
But at least we got a christmas e-card!
