Royal Air Maroc freezes pay, perks for top brass

Rabat, January 07: Royal Air Maroc is freezing the pay and perks of its senior executives in solidarity with the rest of its employees, the Moroccan flag carrier said Wednesday.

In a statement, it said orders for new vehicles for its top brass were also being suspended until further notice, as the airline — one of the biggest in Africa — weathers the global economic downturn.

Royal Air Maroc was hit by a number of walkouts last year, with its pilots’ union demanding that more Moroccans be promoted as captains.
