Hong Kong (CNN Business) Trip.com, China's largest online travel platform, is feeling so much pain from the novel coronavirus outbreak that CEO Jane Sun and chairman James Liang will stop taking salaries to help the company cope with losses.

Sun told staff about the move in an internal memo provided to CNN Business by a Trip.com spokesperson on Monday.

"Starting from this month, James and I will receive zero salary, and members of the senior management will take voluntary pay cuts, up to half of their salary," Sun wrote.

Trip.com TCOM , which owns and operates Ctrip and Skyscanner, declined to comment on how much Sun and Liang earn. The company did not disclose their salaries in its most recent annual report, but noted that it paid all of its directors, including Sun and Liang, cash compensation totaling $1.7 million in 2018.

Shares in Trip.com are down nearly 12% so far this year.
