Unite, which represents aviation workers, is calling for Sunak to “help aviation and aerospace through the uncertainty generated by the Omicron variant, so that it can rebuild sustainably and with resilience”.
General secretary Sharon Graham added: “Throughout the pandemic ministers have repeatedly failed to provide the support needed for an industry and workforce that are central to our economy.
“Jobs have been lost, pay and conditions cut and the future of world class UK aviation put at risk because the government has failed to provide the sector-specific support needed.
