Description
Cypriot national carrier Cyprus Airways is to cut 490 jobs (or 50% of the company’s working force). As announced, the previous restructuring plan (proposed in 2012 and affecting 407 employees) has been withdrawn and replaced by the new agreement.
The restructuring plan, which has been concluded after intense negotiations between the Government, Cyprus Airways and the trade unions among others, refers to wage cuts for the remaining staff (except for the pilots) and details of the severance package. Cyprus Airways fleet will be reduced from 10 to 6 aircrafts.
Cyprus Airways’ restructuring is aiming to save the national air carrier from bankruptcy. The company has been suffering losses of €55.8 million in 2012 and €23.9 million in 2011. For a previous restructuring plan see Cyprus Airways- 2011.
Updated, 18/06/2013 As announced the restructuring plan refers to 420 compulsory redundancies and 68 voluntary ones. Out of the 420 job cuts, 203 ones have been already implemented and the rest will take place in two months.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
