Porter to Lay Off 20% of Ottawa Staff, Contract Out Baggage Service
Porter Airlines says it is permanently laying off about 20 per cent of its Ottawa-based employees in the wake of a year-long shutdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Toronto-based carrier told OBJ it will not be rehiring more than 20 baggage handlers from its Ottawa operations who’ve been on temporary layoff since the company suspended flights last March.
