WICHITA (AP) – Hawker Beechcraft has announced layoffs for the second time in three weeks, this time affecting 150 employees at its Wichita aircraft plant.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the latest cuts will reduce the aircraft maker’s total employment in Wichita to 4,200 people.

Hawker Beechcraft announced on April 23 that it was giving 60-day layoff notices to about 350 employees – mostly hourly workers – at the Wichita plant as it adjusted production.

The company says the 60-day notices issued Friday went to hourly and non-hourly employees in several departments.

In a statement, Hawker Beechcraft’s top executive said the latest cuts result from market conditions and a need to adjust production schedules – not from last week’s filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization.
