Description
Swedavia, a company that runs ten of the largest airports in Sweden, plans to carry out a major part of the redundancies of the 800 full-time positions that were announced for in March 2020. The planned redundancies will be carried out during the second half of 2020. This is announced in Swedavia´s latest interim report from July 2020.
The planned job cuts are a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The aviation industry is one of the most affected industries and traffic at Swedavia's airports had decreased by 97% during Q2 2020 in comparison to same period last year. Swedavia expects the effects of the pandemic to be long-lasting.
According to the latest interim report that was published in July, Swedavia's lost revenue was SEK 500 million (€50 million) a month during the second quarter of 2020. In June 2020, the company received a SEK 3,15 billion (€300 million) capital injection from the state.
Swedavia is a state-owned enterprise and employs a staff of 3000.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
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.
