Aer Arann to axe quarter of workforce

Irish budget airline Aer Arann is planning to cut 100 jobs – a quarter of its workforce – owing to the “difficult operating environment”.

The group said in a statement: “Aer Arann is committed to taking whatever steps are necessary to ensure the company’s viability and long-term development.”

The carrier employs 380 staff and operates 40 routes across Europe.
