Norwegian Air said Monday four of its subsidiaries in Denmark and Sweden have filed for bankruptcy, affecting some 4,700 pilots and crew, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

挪威航空公司周一表示，由于冠狀病毒大流行，其在丹麥和瑞典的四家子公司已申請破產(chǎn)，影響了約4,700名飛行員和機組人員。

"The impact the coronavirus has had on the airline industry is unprecedented," Jacob Schram, chief executive of Norwegian Air, said in a statement.

“冠狀病毒對航空業(yè)的影響是前所未有的。”挪威航空公司(Norwegian Air)首席執(zhí)行官雅各布•施拉姆(Jacob Schram)在一份聲明中表示。

"It is heartbreaking that our Swedish and Danish pilot and cabin crew subsidiaries now are forced to file for bankruptcy, and I'm truly sorry for the consequences this will have for our colleagues," Schram said.

施拉姆說:“我們在瑞典和丹麥的飛行員和機組人員子公司現(xiàn)在被迫申請破產(chǎn)，這令人心碎。給我們的同事帶來的后果，我深表歉意。”

Norwegian said there were efficient "furlough opportunities" in Norway where the government covered salary costs, but lamented that there was not "equivalent coverage in Sweden or Denmark".

該公司表示，在挪威，政府為員工提供了帶薪的“休假機會”，但遺憾的是，“在瑞典或丹麥沒有同樣的機會”。

Another 700 or so pilots and 1,300 cabin crew based in Norway, France and Italy would not be affected, according to the airline.

根據(jù)該航空公司的說法，在挪威、法國和意大利的另外700名左右的飛行員和1300名機組人員不會受到影響。

Norwegian, like the rest of the airline industry, has been hit hard by the drop in demand due to the coronavirus pandemic, coming on top of its struggles with massive debt even before the outbreak.

與航空業(yè)的其他公司一樣，挪威航空公司也受到了冠狀病毒大流行導致的需求下降的沉重打擊。在疫情爆發(fā)之前，挪威航空公司就一直在與巨額債務作斗爭。

The company, one of the pioneers of low-cost long-haul flights, is facing cashflow problems as most of its aircraft are now grounded.

該公司是低成本長途航班的先驅(qū)之一，由于大部分飛機現(xiàn)已停飛，因此面臨現(xiàn)金流問題。
