ITA Airways has announced it has reached an agreement with trade unions on a voluntary workforce exit programme. The agreement forms part of its organisational restructuring and integration into Lufthansa Group. It limits departures to employees who formally agree to leave. Participants will receive income support for up to 24 months.
Additional company incentives will bring compensation to 90pc to 92pc of their reference salary during the support period. Travel benefits will also be retained. The airline had faced a political backlash over plans to initiate collective dismissal proceedings affecting 226 employees.
The voluntary exit programme follows ITA Airways’ integration into Lufthansa Group. The agreement covers employees who choose to leave. The airline continues its organisational restructuring.
