The aircraft maintenance and repair firm, based at Norwich Airport, was in a consultation process with staff. However, following the initial announcement earlier this month, staff were informed more redundancies were needed than first thought.

A worker, who did not want to be named, said they had been told a board meeting in Holland would finalise the redundancy figures.

A spokesman for KLM Engineering said he could not comment about the cuts.

Last year KLM Engineering, which employs 390 people in Norwich, announced a new £7 million development including new workshop facilities. This included a 54,000 sqft hangar and 15,500 sqft workshop.

KLM UK Engineering has been headquartered in Norwich for more than 40 years.
