EMPLOYEES OF B.A.C.
1200 to be redundant
(N.Z. Preu Assn. —Copyright) BRISTOL, Sept. 2. Twelve hundred British Aircraft Corporation workers would be made redundant by the end of October, the corporation said. The redundancies would affect •all five of the corporation’s factories, including Fairford, Gloucester, where the Concorde is being built. B.AC. said that the redundancies had been caused by a sharp reduction in aircraft orders at a time when the Concorde production build-up was stilt relatively slow and design development effort had passed its peak. “The slow-down in B.AC. 1-11 jetliner orders reflects the difficulties being experienced by many airlines in maintaining profitable operations," a spokesman said. “This world situation had affected not only B.A.C. but also all its comeptitors, notably those in the United States, and had inevitably led to a reducing work-load in the commercial aircraft division.”
