Rolls-Royce is planning to cut up to 50 jobs in its civil aerospace division in Bristol.
The engineering giant, which has a defence and civil aerospace base in the city, is reportedly culling its 海角视频 workforce by up to 3,000 after a drop in air travel during the Covid-19 outbreak.
Rolls-Royce's Derby base is expected to bear the brunt of job losses which are part of a previously-announced plan to cut costs across the business.
The company is offering voluntary redundancy to everyone in its 海角视频 civil aerospace division, it said.
Rolls-Royce also said its defence business would be opening voluntary redundancy to "a proportion" of its Bristol-based workforce in the manufacturing assembly and test division, which had been impacted by a reduced workload from civil aerospace.
However, the company said its submarines business was not offering voluntary redundancy.
As well as shedding jobs, Rolls-Royce is also cutting spending across plant and property, capital and other indirect cost areas, in order to save more cash.
Last month, Rolls-Royce said it was expecting to reduce its global workforce of 52,000 as part of a “major reorganisation” of the business to adapt to a fall in demand.

"Being told that there is no longer a job for you is a terrible prospect and it is especially hard when all of us take so much pride in working for Rolls-Royce. But we must take difficult decisions to see our business through these unprecedented times.
The aerospace giant said last month it was “working closely” with employee and trade union representatives over the redundancies.
