Delta Air Lines (DL, Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson) is planning to cut an unspecified number of jobs from its administrative workforce.
Though the airline has posted a string of strong quarterly profits, it says the move is intended to help improve productivity throughout the firm and thus keep it 'nimble' in the face of a decline in revenue.
The cuts will affect employees at Delta’s headquarters in Atlanta near Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson and will see salaried positions reduced over the next few months.
Despite the announcement, Delta has told the AJC newssite it will continue to hire flight attendants, pilots, reservations agents, and other frontline employees.
