"Air Canada is reducing a number of non-union management positions, it said Thursday. The airline "arrived at the difficult decision" to cut some positions after an "extensive review," vice-president of corporate communications Christophe Hennebelle said in a statement to CBC News. "Air Canada regularly reviews its resources and processes to ensure they are optimized to efficiently support business operations and its customers," he said."
"Hennebelle said the reductions amount to approximately one per cent of Air Canada's total staff; about 400 people. Hennebelle did not respond to questions about whether the positions would be reduced through attrition or by not filling vacant jobs. He said the cuts would "not have any impact on day-to-day operations." Toronto Island expansion The job cuts happened the same day Air Canada announced it would expand service from Toronto's Billy Bishop airport, including 10 new daily flights to four U.S. destinations"
""This is our most significant expansion at Toronto Island since Air Canada first served the airport 35 years ago," Air Canada executive vice-president and chief commercial officer Mark Galardo said in a news release earlier in the day. The new Air Canada routes mark an escalation in the emerging rivalry between Porter and the flag carrier. Porter is headquartered at Billy Bishop and already services the four U.S. cities."
Air Canada is reducing a number of non-union management positions following an extensive review, totaling approximately one per cent of its workforce, about 400 people. The vice-president of corporate communications said the cuts aim to optimize resources and processes and will not affect day-to-day operations. The company did not specify whether reductions will occur via attrition or by leaving vacancies unfilled. On the same day, Air Canada announced a significant expansion at Toronto's Billy Bishop airport with ten new daily flights to New York, Boston, Chicago and Washington and additional service to Ottawa and Montreal. The expansion intensifies competition with Porter Airlines.
