Islamabad, Sep 24: Kuwait Airways has taken steps to address the termination of its absorption contract with Kuwait Aviation Services Company (KASCO) after financial and procedural concerns were raised by the Audit Bureau.
These corrective actions follow directives from the Government Performance Follow-up Agency and the Public Investment Authority.
On the positive side, Kuwait Airways has emphasized its commitment to adhering to legal procedures and ensuring that employees affected by the contract will not face salary or benefit reductions. This shows a dedication to employee welfare and maintaining job security.
Moreover, the plan to offer transfers to interested employees could provide new opportunities for growth within the airline, while the initiative to open up more jobs at KASCO for local talent supports the development of national competencies and contributes to the broader expansion of the national business sector.
However, there could be some drawbacks. The restructuring may cause disruptions for employees who might prefer their previous roles or find adjusting to new vacancies challenging.
Additionally, while the plan to empower local talent is commendable, there could be delays in finding suitable replacements, which might temporarily affect the operations of both Kuwait Airways and KASCO.
Overall, the corrective actions demonstrate a balance between addressing procedural concerns and safeguarding employees’ interests, though the transition may pose some short-term challenges.
