Ahead of a supervisory board meeting at Leipzig/Halle Airport, Verdi representatives have put further pressure on the employer and demanded better working conditions for airport staff. "The employees are sticking to their demands for a significant pay rise of 650 euros," a spokesperson said on Friday. The supervisory board members - including Saxony's Finance Minister Hartmut Vorjohann (CDU) - met on Friday to discuss the future of the two Saxon airports in Leipzig and Dresden, among other things.

According to media reports, job cuts are on the cards following a restructuring report by auditing firm KPMG. "The topics that will be discussed at the Supervisory Board meeting require strict confidentiality and at the moment it is important to maintain the confidentiality of this information," said the Ministry of Finance. The expert opinion is an internal matter between Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG and the auditing company. The Ministry of Finance currently only has a working draft of the report. According to the ministry, the consultations will "take some time."

The shareholders of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG include the Free State of Saxony - with the largest share - and the state of Saxony-Anhalt.
