Description

Deutsche Flugsicherung, DFS - the German air navigation services - a company that is under control of the central public administration, plans to cut approx. 600 jobs out of a total of 6,100 ones by 2019. The decision is due to a decrease in number of flights and a declining turnover.

According to the sources the job reduction will take place only by means of natural attrition and most propably will not affect the 1,900 air traffic controllers.

See Deutsche Flugsicherung 2005 for information on a previous restructuring.
