Description
The business aviation services company Jet Aviation announced a restructuring plan, which will result in the loss of 200 to 300 jobs from a total of 1,600 currently employed.
The management has cited the strength of the Swiss-Franc and a reduction in orders as the main reasons for redundancies, which will mostly affect administrative staff and employees working in the fitting process. The implementation of the restructuring plan will begin in September 2011 and will be completed around mid-2012, according to management. Around 60% of the employees working in the Basel-Mulhouse Airport site of the company are French workers (crossborder workers) while some 20% of them are from Germany.
Jet Aviation is a Swiss company owned by the American company General Dynamics which employ around 5,100 employees to be able to cater client needs from 25 airport facilities throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North and South America. The company provides a range of services including maintenance, refurbishing, engineering together with aircraft management, aircraft sales charter and personnel services.
Update on 22-09-11: according to recent media rerports, the implementation of the restructuring programme will be completed by the end of 2011 and not mid-2012 as originally announced.

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.
