SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Aircraft maker Airbus has retrenched some of its workers in Singapore, as Covid-19 travel restrictions in the region has forced planes to be grounded and dented demand for aviation support services.

The company told The Straits Times: "After a thorough review of our operations, we have had no option but to take difficult adaptive measures, primarily affecting positions within our customer services operation and related support functions here."
