The local airline will be discontinuing its Dash 8 service, according to CBC.
[Air Labrador Vice-President Philip] Earle insists the loss of the Bombardier Dash 8 twin-engined turboprop service is not a sign that Air Labrador is going out of business.
"I think it's important to point out we're certainly not going out of business. We're shutting down a particular part of our business as it is right now," Earle said.
Some of the laid-off workers will be transferred to other parts of the company, but Earle couldn't say how many.
