Virgin Airlines UK Reduces over 3000 employees May 5:51 on May 6 due to prolonged corona impact
Virgin Atlantic of the United Kingdom has announced that it plans to reduce the scale of its business while the demand for the new coronavirus is expected to continue for a long time, and plans to reduce more than 3,000 employees.
Virgin Atlantic announced on Wednesday that it is discussing plans to reduce 3,150 employees with trade unions as part of its response to the virus crisis.
The company expects that it will take up to three years for the severely declining aviation demand to recover to the level before the outbreak spread, and we have no choice but to reduce the scale of our business.
In Europe, movements toward going out and relaxing restrictions on economic activities are spreading, but it remains unclear when demand for travel and business trips will recover.
Under such circumstances, British Airways, Scandinavian Airlines, and the cheapest airline's largest airline, Ryanair, have also come up with a policy of personnel reduction, and airline companies are forced to reassess their businesses.
