(Reuters photo)Singapore Airlines will focus on recovering from the coronavirus outbreak and doesn’t plan to cut jobs at the moment, the Sunday Times reported, citing the carrier’s Chief Executive Officer Goh Choon Phong. Singapore Airlines has offered its staff voluntary unpaid leave and some have taken temporary posts outside the company after it slashed most of its flights due to the coronavirus outbreak. Singapore Airlines and its SilkAir unit have restored some flights this month but are only operating at 6% of capacity as the global spread of the virus wiped out travel demand. Carriers around the world are seeking funds, cutting jobs and deferring jet deliveries, while some have collapsed altogether.
