British Airways set to cut off 12000 jobs following pandemic

Amid pandemic and as a part of a restructuring forced on the carrier by the fallout from the coronavirus, its parent company IAG said that British Airways is to slash up to 12,000 jobs.

 

The firm said its plans were still under consultation but it was "likely that they will affect most of British Airways' employees and may result in the redundancy of up to 12,000".

 

Passenger demand would take "several years" to return to 2019 levels, the firm confirmed.

 

International Airlines Group (IAG), which also owns Iberia and Vueling, saw its shares lose 2.2 percent as preliminary results showed first quarter revenue had fallen by 13 percent to 4.6 billion euros (US$4.9 billion).

 

IAG said it had reduced passenger capacity for April and May by 94 percent compared with the same period in 2019.

 

BA Chief Executive Alex Cruz had warned last month there would be consequences for the airline after the coronavirus pandemic devastated demand.
