Compared to the year 2009, this represents a fall of 40%. The main reason for the decrease in the number of employees is the Restructuring Plan, on the basis of which employees have been transferred to subsidiary companies. One of the pillars of the restructuring measures was a reduction in the total number of employees. In this context, the Company decided in 2010 to reduce the number of employees in the Group as a whole to 3,700 employees, including those transferred to subsidiary companies. The optimization of the workforce was implemented in the second half of 2010, and its completion was planned for the end of April 2011. At the end of April 2011, the number of employees in the whole Czech Airlines Group was supposed to reach the intended target of 3,700 employees.
