Due to the Corona crisis, Eurowings plans to cut almost every third job in administration. “We have around 1000 jobs in administration and we will cut around 300 of them,” said Eurowings boss Jens Bischof on Monday evening (May 25) at an online event of the Düsseldorf Economic Journalists’ Association. The Lufthansa subsidiary employs a total of around 4,000 people.

Bishop did not provide figures on job cuts for flying personnel. “In flight operations, it depends on the concepts that we achieve with our social partners – especially with regard to the possible division of Germanwings colleagues between Lufthansa and Eurowings,” said the Eurowings boss. The fleet will shrink significantly: “Instead of the 139 aircraft flown in 2019, we will probably only have a good 90 aircraft in the air in 2021,” said Bischof.
