Aer Lingus has revealed that it has cut a number of jobs due to the COVID-19 crisis.
"No Operational Requirement"
The Irish Times quotes Aer Lingus as saying that it "communicated to a number of fixed-term contractors in March that their planned appointments as permanent seasonal contractors was being deferred due to the COVID-19 crisis.
"Given the ongoing crisis, the decimation in demand for travel in the immediate term and the uncertainty regarding future travel demand thereafter, these individuals have now been informed that there is no operational requirement for their roles going forward."
The airline did not confirm how many people have been impacted by the job cuts.
