Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Aviation

Mr. Ray Gray:

Currently, other than absolutely essential staff, we are operating on the basis of a four-day week. That has been a necessary but unfortunate measure and a consequence of Covid-19. We have not brought on board any of the new or summer hires one would normally expect in an airport operation in the summer period. Some contracts have ceased or been ended. We are now engaging with staff on how we can operate the business in a post-Covid environment, looking at the numbers of employees we need for those areas. That will result in some redundancies but they will be voluntary and we expect they will be put in place through mechanisms of engagement with staff and trade unions.
