KLM, the Dutch arm of Air France-KLM, said it would cut 1,500 additional jobs as part of a restructuring in which it needs to cut emissions by 50% by 2030 as well as prepare for recovering traffic after the coronavirus outbreak.
Parent company Air France-KLM earlier this week reported a €1.55 billion operating loss for the second quarter, with traffic down 95% from a year earlier.
KLM said the new cuts would mean its workforce, 33,000 before the pandemic, would be reduced by 20% in all by 2022. The airline did not rule out further cuts.
