Jeju Air Moves to Unpaid Leave for Cabin Crew as High Oil Prices Pressure Airlines

Jeju Air is implementing unpaid leave for cabin crew as the burden of high oil prices grows. According to Hankyung.com, the move is a workforce adjustment made while rising fuel costs continue to pressure the airline industry. The original report states that Jeju Air has also begun unpaid leave for flight attendants, but it does not provide detailed figures such as the application period, the number of employees affected, or the size of expected cost savings. As high oil prices add to airlines’ operating burden, the measure reflects Jeju Air’s response to cost pressure. Source: hankyung.com
