Easy jet closes bases and reduces staff numbers

Easy Jet recently announced its opening of international flights but have also confirmed that they will be reducing the number of staff as well as bases. They have planned to close bases at Stansted, South end as well as Newcastle.

So, what does this mean for the staff working for easy jet? There is an estimated 1300 UK crew members that are at risk of losing their job and 727 of UK based pilots may be at risk of redundancy. Johan Lundgren the chief executive of Easy Jet explains that due to the COVID-19 environment the demand is low and therefore not as many aircrafts will be needed. He also informed that EasyJet was aiming to minimise the number of jobs lost as much as possible.

What does this mean for you? Despite the announcement to close bases EasyJet have confirmed that it may still be using the Stansted, Newcastle and South end as a part of its route. This means that crews will not be based permanently at these bases but it will continue to fly in and out.
