Airline Layoffs — A Summary
Before we get into the details, here’s a quick summary of what we found out:
- Chinese airlines seem to handle the crisis better or are less impacted. As a result, China’s biggest airlines, China Southern and China Eastern have (currently) no plans to cut jobs.
- Although not included in the list, we couldn’t find any Chinese airlines’ announcements about job layoffs.
- Low-cost airlines seem to handle the crisis in a better way compared to legacy/network carrier. Accordingly, job cuts are marginal compared to network carriers.
- With up to 40,000, Lufthansa Group is leading the list of most significant job cuts.
