Hyundai’s urban air mobility subsidiary Supernal laid off 296 employees, or approximately 80% of its staff, last week as the Korean automaker struggles to keep its eVTOL aircraft development program afloat. However, a company spokesperson told AIN that Supernal “is not shutting down.” 

These latest layoffs, announced on February 27, followed another round of layoffs last July that eliminated 52 positions. At the time, Supernal attributed the decision to an “organizational realignment from the technology development phase to the product development phase of our business.”
