In a letter to staff, almost half of the 1,000 strong workforce at the six airports will now be at risk of cuts.
This was revealed to employees in a company-wide letter this morning.
The restructuring plan was announced follow a drop in passengers using airports due to the pandemic.
Chief executive of the company, John Hutson, said: “The company has written to 1,000 people employed in its pubs at six airports (Gatwick, Heathrow, Stansted, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Glasgow) to inform them that a possible 400 to 450 positions are at risk of redundancy.
“The decision is mainly a result of a downturn in trade in these pubs, linked with the large reduction in passenger numbers using the airports.
“We should emphasise that no firm decisions have been made at this stage.
“Wetherspoon is proposing to collectively consult with employees through an employment representative committee, which will be established for this purpose.”
