Hundreds of jobs are threatened at Ryanair because of Brexit uncertainties and problems with the Boeing 737 MAX, grounded for safety reasons after two accidents.
The low-cost Irish carrier is waiting for delivery of two Boeing 737 MAXs, which have yet to materialize.
As a result, he finds himself with a surplus of personnel: 500 pilots and 400 cabin crew members too, according to CEO Michael O'Leary.
O'Leary said, in a videotaped message, that the company is expected to reduce its crew by 600 next summer. A number of layoffs are therefore in sight.
Ryanair had already announced two weeks ago its intention to close some of its airport bases this winter and next summer.
