Bombardier to cut 490 more Northern Ireland jobs
The Canadian aircraft manufacturer employs about 4,000 people across several locations in Northern Ireland.
The region’s biggest high-tech manufacturer said it had to reduce its workforce after reviewing its “manpower requirements” in Belfast.
The Unite trade union said the job losses were a “bombshell, unjustified in the face of rising profits”.
The company employs 69,500 worldwide, and most of its NI-based workforce are based at a wing-making plant in Belfast.
