BREAKING: British Airways set to make up to 12,000 staff redundant
The owner of British Airways has said up to 12,000 of the airline’s employees could be made redundant.
International Airlines Group announced the planned job cuts as it revealed that revenues plunged 13% in the first quarter of 2020. In a statement, IAG said: ‘In light of the impact of Covid-19 on current operations and the expectation that the recovery of passenger demand to 2019 levels will take several years, British Airways is formally notifying its trade unions about a proposed restructuring and redundancy programme.
‘The proposals remain subject to consultation but it is likely that they will affect most of British Airways’ employees and may result in the redundancy of up to 12,000 of them. ‘As previously announced, British Airways has availed itself of the UK’s Covid-19 job retention scheme and furloughed 22,626 employees in April.’
