Ryanair said it is cutting more than 250 jobs at its offices in Dublin, Stansted, Madrid and Wroclaw.
He said job cuts will be done through a combination of contract termination, resignations and layoffs.
“These individuals will not be required to return to work on June 1, when Ryanair’s offices are reopened, due to the substantial decrease in traffic facing Ryanair Group Airlines in 2020,” the airline said in a statement.
Ryanair has operated less than 1% of its normal flight schedules during April, May and June and this week said that only 40% of its normal flight schedules would operate in July.
For the full year, Ryanair said it now expects to carry fewer than 100 million passengers, more than 35% less than the target of more than 155 million for the year ending March 2021.
Ryanair People Director Darrell Hughes said that while the airline expects to reopen its offices starting June 1, the company will not require the same number of support team members in a year that it will carry fewer than 100 million passengers compared to a target figure of 155 million.
Darren Hughes also said the airline continues to meet with its pilot and cabin crew unions across Europe to finalize up to 3,000 job cuts and 20% pay cuts.
“New announcements about Ryanair crew job losses and pay cuts are expected before the end of May in light of ongoing flight restrictions,” he added.
