About 400 employees of the Skopje airport will lose their jobs, reports TV Alfa, which announced that dismissals are being distributed in TAV in the next few days. According the TV’s sources, the dismissals are being processed immediately after the expiration of the deadline by which there could be no layoffs in companies that received state aid due to the coronacrisis.
TAV denies for Alfa TV that the number of 400 employees is correct, because, as the company states, it would not be possible with such a reduction in the number of employees to operate the airport operations. Although there is no denial that there will be layoffs, there is no answer as to how many there will be.
As a result of the Covid-19 crisis, which has severely affected aviation globally, after the reopening of airports, our operations have been reduced, and so have our revenues, while costs have remained the same. Because of this, we are working to balance the continuity of business and employment, reads TAV’s response to the TV station.
