easyJet to axe 50 management jobs
Following on from the declaration of a £48 million loss, low cost airline easyJet has announced it is to axe 50 positions within its middle management positions.
The airline said the cuts were necessary because of a "degree of duplication" following the acquisition and integration of Go Fly operations.
The company last year bought rival low-cost carrier Go Fly in a deal which upped the ante on other European low cost airlines.
The company's chief executive, Ray Webster claimed the company was still making progress despite today's announcement and the cuts announced in March when it was revealed that 116 were to go at the company's Stansted call centre.
The centre is to close this summer as part of the continuing integration of the two airlines.
