Description
Heathrow Airport has announced that it is planning to cut 200 of 1,000 jobs from its central head office operations.
According to the management, the restructuring is following a ruling from the Civil Aviation Authority that the airport must reduce charges for airlines in real terms from April 2014. The cuts will not affect front line roles like security.
The airport employs about 7,000 staff in total.
