Ten months after landing a dream job with Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi, 29-year-old Rahul Magotra, from Jammu, lost his employment thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I have worked with domestic airlines like GoAir and IndiGo taking care of the air ramp and other cargo related tasks. Getting a job in Etihad was my first stint with an international company and would have helped me immensely for my career,” Rahul says.

Unfortunately, the Covid-19 crisis hit the aviation industry the hardest. Air operations started to slow down in January itself. “The crew started getting less work, and our roosters got emptier. The appointing company, Transguard, promised us food and accommodation, but it helped little,” he recalls.
