Dutch airline KLM is poised to
cut a quarter of its managerial jobs and support functions, broadcaster Nos
says, after acquiring a copy of the reorganisation plan.
The document states
that KLM is too complex, too slow and too expensive. The company is too
hierarchical, has too many managers and ‘has lost sight of its customers’.
Slashing costs will involve ‘flipping all the switches’, Nos says.
According to
KLM, this means 25% of managers will lose their jobs and those who remain will
have bigger departments to deal with. In addition, support, HR and
communications departments, can be streamlined and made more efficient.
The job
cuts should lead to savings of €40m a year, Nos says.
The plan was sent to the
airline’s works council on July 8 and it has reacted positively, Nos says.
The
reorganisation has been on the cards for some time. A spokesman told the
broadcaster that the changes would make KLM more future-proof but declined to
say how many jobs will actually be lost.
