British Airways to reduce capacity this summer
British Airways has given another warning that its revenues in the coming financial period will fall by approximately 5% and would as a result be posting another loss next year. BA’s response to this and the falling passenger numbers caused by the recession is to reduce capacity this summer by up to 2%.
The company, which expects losses of £150million in 2008/9, is said to be considering a pay freeze and voluntary redundancies to see it through this difficult trading period.
