PARIS: European aircraft maker Airbus said on Tuesday it is planning to cut around 15,000 jobs worldwide, 11% of its total workforce, in response to the “gravest crisis” the industry has ever seen caused by the coronavirus.
The company said 5,000 positions would be cut France, 5,100 in Germany, 900 in Spain, 1,700 positions in Britain and 1,300 positions at Airbus’ other worldwide sites. “The aviation sector is facing a massive, brutal and lasting shock. It is highly likely that the recovery will be gradual,” said the ministry.The French government on earlier this month pledged €15 billion for the country’s aviation industry in a bid to preserve jobs.
“Airbus is facing the gravest crisis this industry has ever experienced,” said Airbus chief executive Guillaume Faury.“These measures allowed us to weather the early stages of the economic shock,” Faury added in a video message.
