PAL to let go of 2,700 employees as pandemic beats up airline

News from the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Oct. 1, 2020)

MANILA, Philippines—Flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) launched a major program to let go of employees on Thursday (Oct. 1), joining other Philippine and overseas carriers struggling with the COVID-19 pandemic.

PAL employees were told during a company meeting that the airline will shrink its workforce by up to 35 percent—affecting over 2,700 employees—in a process that could stretch until early December this year, Inquirer sources said.
