The next airline has to release personnel due to Corona: The British low-cost airline Jet2 wants to fire 102 pilots. The airline itself deeply regrets this step. But this is unavoidable because the flight program had to be drastically reduced due to the outbreak of the pandemic. This surplus of staff has to be reduced, how ch-aviation.com reported.
The Secretary General of the British Airline Pilots Association (BAPA) Brian Strutton also spoke up: This announcement would reflect the desperate state of the British air transport sector. "Despite tremendous efforts to work with Jet2 to save these jobs, the airline insists on 102 layoffs," said Strutton. The government is also calling for more state support for the industry.
