Cumulative losses to hit $237 million by end of March 2021
Airline is flying old aircraft to prevent seizure of new jets
Air Mauritius administrators are running out of time
to save the airline as recurrent expenses pile up, costs of servicing leases for new aircraft accumulate
and unions fail to give constructive proposals on job cuts.
Cumulative losses for the three fiscal years through March 2021 could reach 9.5 billion rupees ($237 million)
if costs are not cut in the short term.
At the current rate, the airline will require a cash injection of 10.3 billion rupees
to meet its financial commitments, according to a document seen by Bloomberg.
The company known as MK is using old Airbus A340 planes for humanitarian flights
because it risks newer jets being seized by creditors for unpaid leases,
according to the emailed statement.
Administrators asked employees with more than 33 years of service to opt for retirement from the end of July, according to the document.
