Jan 6 (Reuters) – Alaska Airways, a unit of Alaska Air Group , stated on Thursday it would scale back its flight departures by about 10% by means of the top of January, because of a surge in Omicron infections and an increase in workers calling in sick.
“As we now have entered 2022, the continued impacts of Omicron have been disruptive in all our lives and unprecedented worker sick calls have impacted our potential to function our airline reliably,” the corporate stated in a press release.
