The airport believes that the aviation industry will recover in the long term but the “short term impact” has meant difficult decisions.
A spokesperson for LBA said:
“We are deeply saddened to be consulting with colleagues as a result of the impact of the global pandemic. We, like many other sectors, are operating in challenging circumstances and this has led to some difficult decisions.”
LBA will still push ahead with its terminal replacement proposals. It says the plans are “well placed” to boost its recovery and the wider economy.
