"Recently, Avation Exteriors Louisiana received notice of a loss of business from its main customer due to COVID," the letter states. "The company carefully analyzed this situation and its available options, and it is with regret that I must report to you that the company has decided to substantially reduce its operations. As a result, we anticipate that we will permanently lay off approximately 48 employees over the next 15 days."
