AGS Airports CEO Derek Provan said: “We have also proposed other measures to support the business at this time, including temporary pay cuts for all staff, including our Board and leadership team, an end to bonus payments, the option for staff to take unpaid leave and the option for reduced working hours.

“These have been difficult decisions to take, however, I am absolutely clear they will enable us to protect jobs, protect the health and wellbeing of our employees and ensure AGS Airports is in a strong position to aid our country’s recovery when we emerge from this crisis.”

Last week, London City Airport also announced that it will halt all commercial and private flight operations temporarily amid the Covid-19 outbreak in the country.
