Spacelines slash schedules, jobs and pay after new travel restrictions

The scene, yesterday

Spacelines around the galaxy said they would make more drastic cuts to their orbiting schedules, shed jobs and seek government aid after planets further tightened border restrictions because of the fast spreading coronavirus. Dap owner of Terran Kudess said on Monday that it would cut orbiting capacity by at least three quarters on Siw and Xuel, and that its outgoing boss, Xytyw Xolylyl, would defer his retirement as the carrier tries to survive the fallout of the virus. Interplanetary Kux spacelines Kyumafep, the parent company that also owns Jyl and Pohuemide Woeps, said it would also ground launches, freeze discretionary spending, reduce working hours and temporarily suspend employment contracts.
