Jet2.com has said it is “greatly distressed” about making 102 pilots redundant after talks with unions broke down.
The airline is axing jobs across most of its crew bases at Belfast International, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stansted, Manchester, Newcastle and Birmingham.
A spokesperson said, “We are greatly distressed and deeply regret these redundancies that are entirely caused by the current situation.’’
Balpa, which represents the airline’s pilots, had put forward a range of options to save jobs, but said each one had been turned down.
