APPLETON, Wis. (Civic Media) — Air Wisconsin Airlines announced potential layoffs for 513 employees in Wisconsin following the termination of an agreement with American Airlines.
The regional carrier, based in Appleton, expects to cut 219 management and salaried positions, along with 294 union jobs. The layoffs could begin as early as March 31, impacting operations at Appleton International Airport and General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee.
