Southwest Airlines plans to reduce its corporate workforce by 15%, marking the airline’s first round of broad layoffs in its 53-year history. The job cuts primarily affect corporate employees, rather than overall staff.
The initial version of this article contained incorrect information on the scope of the cuts. After verifying the details, it was corrected to reflect that the reductions will impact 15% of the corporate staff, not the entire workforce.
