Luton Airport faces jobs threat

Luton Airport workers face a wave of redundancies as more flights are axed.

Baggage handling firms are among the worst hit as fewer cash-strapped Britons fly abroad.

With overseas travel down by 14 per cent on 2008, Servisair, one of the world's biggest ground handling firms, is axing its Luton Airport operation because there is not enough work for staff.

Servisair said the decision to sell to rivals Aviance comes because three firms are competing for a shrinking market.

A worried member of the 140-strong Luton workforce said: "We've been told to expect redundancies in a couple of weeks."
