Czernicki added that pay cuts for employees who were not carrying out their duties amid the epidemic were fair.
Poland closed its borders to non-residents and suspended scheduled international passenger air connections on March 15 in an effort to stem the coronavirus outbreak.
Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin said last month that LOT was in a difficult situation. “This is a company that is practically not active now. All passenger flights, but also cargo flights, have practically died,” added Sasin, who also serves as minister of state assets, the Polish News Agency adds.
