USAirtours has given its staff members a working from home allowance of £1,200 per year to help them cope with the rising cost of living in the UK.

Founder and chief executive Guy Novik said the past two years made it "very difficult" for companies to find the extra reserves to reward staff and pay bonuses.

"Now that we are growing again, we not only want to retain the amazing staff who got us through the toughest trading period I’ve experienced but also attract talented and experienced individuals to join our team," he added.

During the pandemic – when the US closed its borders for 20 months – the operator reduced its headcount from 83 to 32, but it has since grown to 50 and is still recruiting.
