airport operator Swedavia is laying off 125 employees as a result of an ongoing change and efficiency programme. The measures are aimed at ensuring Swedavia’s cost-effectiveness and long-term competitiveness.
“We are now creating conditions to remain competitive and in order to develop our operations in the long term. In an industry that has narrow margins, we also need to adapt to a changing world with decelerating passenger growth that both we and our customers are facing,” says Jonas Abrahamsson, president and CEO of Swedavia.
The layoffs were announced on January 15 and include jobs in the Group’s corporate units as well as at Swedavia’s airports, but mainly in Stockholm and Gothenburg.
Negotiations with Swedish trade unions will begin at once. The aim is for the measures to be implemented by the end of June 2019. Swedavia today has about 3,100 employees.
