British Airways have announced upto 12,000 employees could lose their jobs.
IAG confirmed to Sky News this afternoon that it will be making cuts.
IAG said in a statement on Tuesday: “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.”
BA had previously furloughed more than 22,000 workers as part of the UK job retention scheme.
