Air Canada has announced the elimination of approximately 400 management positions, representing about 1 percent of its workforce. The airline confirmed the job cuts on Thursday, stating that the decision followed an extensive review of its operations. Christophe Hennebelle, a spokesperson for Air Canada, explained that the airline regularly assesses its resources and processes to ensure they are optimized for efficient business operations and customer support. He emphasized that the cuts would not affect day-to-day operations. Hennebelle described the decision as difficult but necessary. He noted that the airline is communicating directly with the employees impacted by the layoffs. Air Canada is scheduled to present its earnings report on November 5. In addition to the job cuts, Air Canada recently announced plans to expand its services at Billy Bishop Airport in Toronto. The airline will introduce U.S. Customs preclearance at the airport in the spring, allowing Canadian travelers to clear U.S. customs before their departure. These developments come as Air Canada continues to navigate the challenges of the aviation industry while striving to enhance its operational efficiency and customer service.
