American Airlines says to cut management and support staff by 30%

American Airlines Group Inc must reduce its management and support staff by about 30 percent and may have to cut frontline employees as it downsizes due to the coronavirus pandemic, showed a letter to employees made public on Wednesday.

All major U.S. airlines have said they will need to shrink in the fall, once U.S. government payroll aid that bans involuntary job cuts expires on September 30.

Competitor United Airlines Holdings Inc has also said it will need to reduce its management and administrative staff by about 30 percent.
