Description
Tallinna Lennujaam, the group that operates Tallinn Airport and the ground handling company Tallinn Airport GH, announced the dismissal of 111 employees. The dismissals will be conducted between July and September 2020. Due to the containment measures of the COVID-19 outbreak, tourism and travelling have been restricted and the airport was left in a difficult position. The company has forecasted that reaching the pre-crisis number of passengers will not happen before the end of 2022. To mitigate the situation, the company applied measures advised by the state (e.g. wage subsidy), but these solutions are not sufficient to fully save the company, therefore the management holds the restructuring for inevitable.
Update, 14.09.2020:On 4 September 2020, the Tallinna Lennujaam announced it will lay off additional 20 employees. As the number of flights and passengers has decreased and there are no signs of business recovery, employees related to service and care of machinery and passengers will suffer job losses. Administrative staff will also be affected by the restructuring.

The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
