More than 300 SP Plus workers to be laid off from the airport in late September

Over 300 employees at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport will be laid off, according to a Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification, or WARN, notice filed with the Texas Workforce Commission.

The details

The affected 313 employees are from the airport’s Terminal Link, rental car services, express parking and a main building, per the notice dated July 31. The layoff date is Sept. 30.

The layoffs impact employees of Chicago-based parking management company SP Plus, which is a subsidiary of Metropolis Technologies. SP Plus did not have its contract renewed after the airport’s board of directors opted to award a nearly $627.4 million contract to LAZ Parking Texas LLC on June 4.

Based on the WARN notice, the affected employees include:

• 130 from the rental car operations
• 90 from express parking
• 87 from the Terminal Link shuttle service
• Six assigned to a main building

What else

According to airport documents, the new contract with LAZ Parking Texas is set to begin in October.
