600 jobs at Gatwick Airport to go. About 1 in 4

Last accounts had €7Bn cash on the balance sheet. That’s the equivalent of losing a tenner

Parent company IAG sitting on a nice cash reserve. But of course they need to preserve that for their shareholders...

Nope...... BA will be taking all the revenue they can while there is a chance. They've canned some international routes permanently & pulled out of Leeds Bradford permanently. However just because they are still selling seats on a route, does not mean they are confident it will operate
