Skyscanner, a global flight comparison website based in Edinburgh, Scotland, laid off 300 employees last month, representing 20% of its workforce. The company, owned by China's Ctrip, cited significant revenue declines due to the pandemic's severe impact on the travel industry, with a full recovery expected to take several quarters or even years. In conjunction with the layoffs, Skyscanner plans to close or scale back many of its international offices outside the U.K. The cuts affected multiple departments across the organization.
