据空中客车公司官网消息，为应对新冠肺炎危机，空客公布史上最大裁员计划。这家公司宣布将于2021年夏季之前在全球范围内裁减约1.5万个工作岗位。

Airbus announced its largest layoff plan in history in response to the COVID-19 crisis, according to the company's official website.

The company, co-established by Germany, France, the UK and Spain, announced on Tuesday it would cut approximately 15,000 positions across Airbus' global workforce no later than summer 2021.

From this autumn to next summer, Airbus will cut 11% of the company's total employees, with 5,100 in Germany, 5,000 in France, 1,700 in the UK, 900 in Spain and 1,300 in the rest of the world.

Airbus’s commercial activity has dropped by close to 40% in recent months, and commercial aircraft production rates have been adapted accordingly, the company said.

Airbus' measure to reduce its workforce globally is in response to the prediction global air traffic is not expected to recover to pre-COVID-19 levels before 2023 and potentially as late as 2025.
