Description
Leeds-Bradford Airport, the international airport in Yorkshire, has announced plans to cut 107 jobs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the travel restrictions. Redundancy consultations with the affected staff have already started.
A spokesperson for the airport said the decision to cut jobs was a response to the 'short-term constraints' faced by the company and the aviation industry as a whole.
A representative of the GMB trade union called on the government to provide sector-specific financial support to save jobs in aviation.
Leeds-Bradford Airport is an international airport in the north of England, which served over 4 million passengers in 2019.
