Question 2 (50 marks)

Malindo Air has launched a retrenchment exercise ranging from termination to a year's unpaid leave for 2,647 employees, the Human Resources Ministry said on Wednesday, as the Coronavirus pandemic batters the aviation industry. Reeling from a slump in demand in the wake of travel curbs, the Malaysian arm of Indonesia's Lion Air had already ordered a 50% pay cut and unpaid leave for staff in March.

"The ministry... has conducted discussions with Malindo Air's management on Nov. 3 to ensure the rights of the affected workers are protected and appropriate assistance is given," said Human Resources Minister M. Saravanan. Malindo Air did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Airline firms worldwide are struggling to keep afloat after governments grounded flights and ordered travel curbs to battle the virus. National carrier Malaysia Airlines and flagship budget carrier Air Asia Group and its long-haul arm Air Asia X Berhad have also announced job cuts.
