Quality Aircraft Cutting 227 Jobs at Miami International

Quality Aircraft Services, a Miami-based company that provides skycaps and baggage workers to Miami International Airport, is set to layoff 227 workers, the South Florida Business Journal reports.

The company notified the state in a Worker Adjustment Notice and Retraining Act filing. The company intends to drop the axe on Sept. 30 when its contract with Miami-Dade County ends.

According to the report, the county first approved a three-year contract with Quality in 2004 and subsequently renewed the contract seven times for one-year.
