Edinburgh Airport is to make around a third of their workforce redundant after struggling to cope with the pressure of the pandemic.
Airport Cheif Gordan Dewer revealed "restructuring plans" to help the airport survive which will see around 250 people lose their jobs.
Those who are affected by the job losses are expected to receive a letter tomorrow telling them they are being let go.
Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport Gordon Dewer explained: "This is a bitterly sad day for those colleagues who are losing their jobs through no fault of their own but due to the impact of this dreadful pandemic.
"We have worked with unions and staff over the past four months to protect as many jobs as possible, but unfortunately we have to confirm this regrettable news as the business prepares for whatever comes next.
"Last year we welcomed a record 14.7 million people through our doors, this year we will be lucky to see a third of that and next year we won't be anywhere near where we have previously estimated so the business has to right size to be in a position to survive and recover where it can."
