Hi,
Singapore Airlines, the most profitable Asian airline, has asked almost half of its staff to take unpaid leave due to the SARS outbreak.
Singapore's flagship airline has asked its 6,600 cabin crew members to take seven days unpaid leave every two months until the end of March 2004.
Analysts estimate the plan will save the airline Singapore$100m ($56.5m; £35.4m) if cabin crew accept it. SIA are negotiating a similar deal over unpaid leave with its pilots
Singapore Airlines has already cut 30% of its capacity, or about 199 flights a week.
Thanks
