Abu Dhabi's carrier Etihad Airways has reinstated all staff allowances but has extended salary cuts for its employees until the end of the year.

Basic employee salaries will be docked by 10 per cent from September until the end of 2020, in lieu of an earlier cut of between 25-50 per cent.

"Effective 1 September, Etihad has reintroduced all staff allowances, and the reduced pay scheme will now be capped at 10 per cent of basic salary (previously 25-50 per cent) for the remainder of the year. The commitment and dedication demonstrated by the entire Etihad workforce over the past five months has been greatly appreciated,“ an Etihad spokesperson told Gulf Business.

The carrier initially announced salary cuts in March.
