Virgin Atlantic cuts CEO pay as airline industry predicts $113 billion hit from coronavirus

Virgin Atlantic has said its boss will take a 20% temporary pay cut, as the airline became the latest to introduce emergency measures to cope with the impact of the coronavirus outbreak that has led to a slump in passenger bookings.

Less than two weeks ago, IATA had estimated lost revenues of $29.3 billion, based largely on Asian markets. “Airline share prices have fallen nearly 25% since the outbreak began, some 21 percentage points greater than the decline that occurred at a similar point during the SARS crisis of 2003,” it said in a statement.

The news from Virgin came on a day of severe turbulence for airlines, as Flybe, Europe’s largest regional airline, collapsed into administration after struggling to find financial support.
