Airbus to reduce 15,000 people Production will decrease by 40% from plan New Corona 8:15 on July 1
Europe's leading aircraft manufacturer Airbus has announced plans to reduce its workforce by 15,000 as aircraft demand is declining due to the new coronavirus.
Airbus announced on the 30th that it will reduce its number of employees by 15,000 by the summer of next year at locations in Germany, France, and the United Kingdom.
Regarding this reason, Airbus says that production of aircraft is 40% less than planned due to the spread of infection and it will take time to recover demand, so it is necessary to respond to such situations.
CEO Fori said in a statement, "The aviation industry is facing the most serious crisis it has ever experienced, and we must keep our company out of this situation." As a result, we are seeking an understanding that we will reduce personnel.
Although the movement to resume economic activity is spreading around the world, it is said that it will take four years for the number of international passengers to recover to the level before the spread of infection, and the impact on the aircraft industry will be prolonged. There is growing concern.
