Serch hynny, yn gwbl groes i hynny, mae llyfr archebion Airbus wedi’i gwtogi wrth i’r galw am awyrennau newydd leihau a chyfraddau cynhyrchu ostwng 30%. Mae Airbus bellach yn ymladd i oroesi, ac mae wedi cyhoeddi cynlluniau i addasu ei weithlu byd-eang a newid maint ei weithgarwch awyrennau masnachol mewn ymateb i argyfwng COVID-19. Mae disgwyl i'r newidiadau hyn arwain at golli tua 15,000 o swyddi yn fyd-eang cyn haf 2021, gyda 1,700 o'r rhain yn y DU. Bydd yr ailstrwythuro hwn yn effeithio'n bennaf ar ddau safle'n unig – Brychdyn yng Nglannau Dyfrdwy a Filton ym Mryste.
However, in stark contrast, the Airbus order book has been eroded as demand for new aircraft has fallen and production rates have dropped by 30%. Airbus is now fighting for survival and has announced plans to adapt its global workforce and resize its commercial aircraft activity in response to the COVID-19 crisis. This adaptation is expected to result in a global reduction of around 15,000 positions no later than Summer 2021, with 1700 of these in the UK. This restructuring will predominately impact on two sites only – Broughton in Deeside and Filton in Bristol.
