Ryanair has announced it is slashing 3,000 jobs as a result of the collapse in demand for air travel following the coronavirus pandemic.
The budget airline group said it anticipated passenger numbers will not return to 2019 levels ‘until summer 2022 at the earliest’.
Up to 3,000 jobs across pilots and cabin crew will be cut at Ryanair. It is not clear how many staff will be affected at Manchester Airport.
The budget airline group announced that a restructuring programme could also involve unpaid leave and pay slashed by up to 20 per cent.
