Airport bosses are looking at making job cuts at Doncaster airport.
Around nine posts are under threat of being axed following a review of the Finningley operation.
Airport chiefs say the proposals - which will result in a number of operational efficiencies, enhancing safety, security and compliance in line with ADVERTISEMENTregulatory guidance, as well as improving training and staff development across operational departments - will leave the airport better prepared to face the challenges of the current economic crisis.
Airport director Mike Morton says the proposals will also leave RHA better placed to maintain and grow its business.
The jobs at risk are mainly in airfield operational roles. Bosses will now enter into a period of consultation with employees and union leaders aimed at minimising the job losses.
Mr Morton said: "These are currently some of the most difficult trading conditions the aviation industry has experienced in decades.
"The company has endeavoured to avoid any potential redundancies in its proposals, however it will unfortunately be necessary to place a small number of staff at risk of redundancy in order to ensure that each airport is best placed moving forward."
