LONDON—Britain’s easyJet plans to cut up to 4,500 jobs and shrink its fleet to adjust to the smaller travel market which is forecast to emerge from the CCP virus crisis.

EasyJet, which employs more than 15,000 people in eight countries across Europe, is moving later than others in announcing job cuts as a result of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, which has brought airlines across the world to their knees.
