French regional Air Littoral is to cut routes, workforce numbers and fleet size in an effort to revive its fortunes. The restructuring plan follows the sale of Swissair's majority holding in the airline to ex-chief executive Marc Dufour. The Montpellier-based operator has told the unions it is to cut 263 posts out of a total 1,200, slash its network by 25%, and reduce its fleet to 17 Bombardier CRJ-200 and five Fokker 70s. A Fokker 100 and ten ATR42-500s are being dropped. Wet-lease work for Air France and Swissair is to continue.
