Cargo staff at Bournemouth Airport face reduced working hours due to a downturn in cargo activity affecting around 60 employees. Measures including short-time working, compulsory annual leave, and temporary layoffs were communicated with little notice, causing financial uncertainty for workers reliant on stable income. According to the airport, this decline stems from broader industry pressures and a sharp rise in fuel prices linked to the conflict in Iran. Employees express concern over the lack of a clear recovery plan, despite airport officials noting early signs of recovery and assuring continued commitment to long-term growth in cargo operations.
