Shorts to cut over 600 jobs
Over 600 jobs are to be cut at Belfast aerospace company Shorts, Canadian parent company Bombardier has today announced.
A total of 645 jobs will be lost, and all levels including management will be affected.
Around the same number of cuts are to be made to jobs in Canada.
The redundancies are believed to be the result of a drop in demand for regional jets, which has lead to fewer orders.
It is understood that consultations with unions are to take place in order to keep the number of compulsory redundancies to a minimum.
