Canada’s Porter shutters until June
Regional carrier Porter Airlines says it is shutting down all operations until June, according to a notice on the airline’s website. The carrier said Wednesday that the global coronavirus crisis is prompting the closure, which will begin at the end of operations March 20. ”Restricting activities…is what’s required to keep our team members and passengers healthy, and ultimately to end this fast-spreading pandemic. A temporary suspension of all flights allows the public health crisis to diminish and then time to restart our operations,” said CE Michael Deluce. The CE also says the airline will issue temporary layoffs and that executive team members will have their salaries cut up to 30% until flights resume. He and his father Robert Deluce, the airline’s executive chairman, will not receive any salary during this time. <br/>
