Lufthansa has said it is considering closing its Rathcoole plant and has invited trade unions for talks. The plant, which specialises in overhauling jet engines, employs about 400 workers. Trade unions will start talks with Lufthansa but fear that the decision has already been made and the plant will be shut down by the end of the year.
