BA jobs go at London City and Edinburgh airports
26.05.09
British Airways has confirmed 25 jobs are to be lost following a reduction in its BA CityFlyer service, based at London City and Edinburgh Airport, the BBC reports. The airline said ‘surplus’ cabin and flight crew positions had been created when one of its planes was written-off.
In February the BAE Systems-manufactured Avro RJ100 aircraft lost its front wheels when experiencing a 'hard landing' at London City on arrival from Amsterdam. As a result of the loss of the plane, the CityFlyer service from Edinburgh to London has been scaled back from eight to six return flights a day.
A British Airways spokeswoman told the BBC that staff had been informed of the cutbacks by letter and discussions with unions were ongoing. The airline hoped the reductions could be made through voluntary redundancies, retirement and converting full-time jobs to part-time.
