Greensboro, North Carolina (CaymanMama.com) — As US airlines continue to look for ways to recoup revenue lost during the recession, US Airways announced its effort to do the same.
US Airways Group said Wednesday that it will eliminate approximately 1,000 positions in 2010, move mostly all of its flying to the airline’s three hubs and Washington, as well as put several international routes on hold.
Chairman and CEO Doug Parker said the scope of change is a large one, but he confidence it will help the the airline to start making money again.
According to the Associated Press, “US Airways Group Inc. said the job cuts will happen in the first half 2010 and will include 600 passenger and ramp service workers, 200 pilots, and about 150 flight attendants. The airline will close crew bases in Las Vegas and at LaGuardia airport in New York on Jan. 31, and in Boston on May 2.”
The airline has put international flying on hold as well including flights between Philadelphia and London Gatwick; Birmingham, England; Milan, Italy; Shannon, Ireland; and Stockholm.
