India's top private carrier Jet Airways has decided to lay off 1,100 additional employees in the next few days, a top official said on Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, Jet said it has retrenched 800 flight attendants and suspended its expansion programme, adding that it will also cut flights because of a slowdown in demand.

The additional job cuts would be across all categories and departments, Executive Director Saroj Datta told reporters in a televised press conference.
