Airbus is laying off an additional 26 subcontractors and temporary staff at its engineering center in Mobile, a company spokeswoman confirmed Monday.
The layoffs follow an initial 14 subcontractors who were let go in early May. The layoffs will be effective “in the coming weeks,” and are a result of the industry’s woes in grappling with the ongoing financial devastation to the global aerospace industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Airbus spokeswoman Kristi Tucker.
