Layoffs at WestJet have affected a number of workers in Manitoba.
Roughly 110 WestJet employees in Winnipeg and Brandon have been laid off as the airline switches to a contractor for customer service and ground handling positions.
In June, the Calgary-based company announced 3,333 workers would be laid off across the country due to business challenges during the COVID pandemic.
The permanent layoffs announced in Manitoba are expected to take effect in the coming days.
