Defence giant BAE Systems says it is planning to cut 1116 jobs and close an aircraft factory in Cheshire.  The firm said it aimed to shut the Woodford plant at the end of 2012, with the loss of 630 jobs. A further 205 positions are to go at BAE’s Samlesbury site, and 170 at its Warton facility, both in Lancashire. In addition, 111 jobs will go in Farnborough. BAE said the planned cuts followed “a detailed review of its current and future business levels”. BAE’s latest job cuts announcement comes five months after the firm said it was trimming 500 positions and closing sites in Telford, Leeds and Guildford.

Total losses = 1116
