Emirates to restore full employee salaries from October, Etihad extends reduced pay for staff

DUBAI: Emirates airline will start paying its employees’ full salaries from October, over six months after slashing pay when the Dubai carrier had to suspend flights as the coronavirus pandemic prompted a closure of international borders.

At least two Emirates employees told UAE national daily Gulf News that on Sept. 3 they received a letter from the company explaining that their wages would be restored to  pre-COVID levels.

But the allowances of staff and managers in certain categories will be cut according to the memo, the employees added.
