Unite reaction to drop in passenger revenue at British Airways

3 September 2010

In August 2010 BA’s traffic, measured in revenue passenger kilometres, fell by 2.9 per cent.  Passenger capacity, measured in available seat kilometres, was down 2.6 per cent on August 2009.

A Unite spokesman said: "Today's figures show that a worrying number of passengers, in the key premium sector particularly, continue to book away from BA. Willie Walsh has failed to recapture those passengers he lost last year, and has in fact lost even more.

"Passengers pay for service and stability and while Willie Walsh continues to wage war on his workforce he can offer customers neither."
