BREAKING: EasyJet grounds all planes due to coronavirus
EasyJet has grounded its entire fleet of aircraft due to the coronavirus pandemic, the airline has announced.
The deal will be effective from Wednesday for a two-month period and means cabin crew will be paid 80 per cent of their average pay through the Government job retention scheme. Staff at EasyJet and Virgin Atlantic have been invited to volunteer at the new 4,000-bed clinic being built at the Excel centre in east London, and those planned in Birmingham and Manchester.
