Rolls-Royce, a UK aircraft engine manufacturer, is planning to cut at least 9,000 jobs, due to falling demand for civil aerospace engines amid the coronavirus pandemic.
According to the manufacturer, such measures are being taken due to the “unprecedented” impact of COVID-19 on the whole aviation industry, and it will take several years to restore demand to the levels seen a few months ago. “As a result, we expect the loss of at least 9,000 roles from our global workforce of 52,000,” the company said.
“Governments across the world are doing what they can to assist businesses in the short-term, but we must respond to market conditions for the medium-term until the world of aviation is flying again at scale.
