Airline Easyjet to cut 60 posts
The airline Easyjet has announced it is to shed up to 60 jobs.
The management and administration posts which are to be cut are all based at the company's headquarters at Luton Airport in Bedfordshire.
The firm said the airline industry was facing tough times caused by the high price of fuel.
A spokesman for the lower-cost airline insisted the company was still profitable but had to make cutbacks in order to remain competitive.
