Air Canada is reducing management staff positions, the airline told CTV News in an email Thursday.

A spokesperson confirmed that non-unionized management positions, amounting to “around one per cent” of the airline’s staff, were affected.

“As a global company, Air Canada regularly reviews its resources and processes to ensure they are optimized to efficiently support business operations and its customers,” reads a statement from spokesperson Christophe Hennebelle.

Hennebelle added that the positions will not be replaced.

“Following an extensive review, we arrived at the difficult decision to reduce some management positions.”
