Bang with the low-cost airline: The British Easyjet wants to cut up to 30 percent of its jobs because of the corona crisis. The aircraft fleet is also expected to shrink instead of growing, the company announced on Thursday in Luton near London.
–
Management justified the cuts with the slump in air traffic as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and the expectation that flight ticket demand will not return to 2019 levels by 2023.
–
According to the 2019 annual report, Easyjet employs over 15,000 people (pilots, flight attendants, ground staff, back office). A third would correspond to a good 5000 jobs that would fall victim to the austerity measures.

Dismantling at Easyjet Switzerland?
An Easyjet spokesman did not want to explain in more detail to the AWP agency what that means specifically for jobs in Switzerland. However, a consultation process will be launched with the workers in the coming days.

Easyjet boss Johan Lundgren still has no confidence in a financial forecast for the current financial year until the end of September. In the fourth business quarter, which includes the summer months that are important for airlines, the flight offer is expected to be 70 percent less than a year earlier.

Easyjet’s aircraft fleet is expected to shrink to 302 aircraft by the end of the 2021 financial year. In March, the airline said it had 337 aircraft and wanted to expand its fleet. Easyjet has reached an agreement with the aircraft manufacturer Airbus to take further ordered aircraft later than planned. (SDA / uro)
