Qatar Airways lays off around 200 staff as coronavirus cuts air travel

DUBAI, March 18 (Reuters) - Qatar Airways laid off around
200 employees, all Filipino nationals based in Qatar, this week
as the coronavirus outbreak forces the Middle East carrier
slashes flights.
Philippine Labour Secretary Silvestre Bello told Reuters on
Wednesday around 200 Filipinos were unexpectedly laid off by the
airline, confirming an earlier ABS-CBN report.
"Our labour attache is under strict instructions to
determine what is the real cause of the decision of management
to retrench them on the basis of redundancy," he told Reuters.
Qatar Airways did not respond to a request for comment.
