Iberia to cut 4,500 jobs, a quarter of airline's workforce

Published on Nov 9, 2012 by Euronews

http://www.euronews.com/ The Spanish airline Iberia is to cut four and a half thousand jobs - a quarter of its workforce. Its parent company, International Airlines Group, says the aim is to save the company which is "struggling for survival".

A deadline has been fixed for the end of January to agree a restructuring plan with the unions - otherwise, warns the company, even more drastic cuts will be implemented.

Iberia's director general says the company is not competing in any of its markets, and its problems pre-date the Spanish or European crises. It's losing 1.7 million euros a day, he adds.

On Wednesday IAG released its latest monthly passenger figures, which showed that numbers had risen at British Airways compared to the same period last year - whereas Iberia had lost customers. Traffic was down by 3.7 per cent.
