We recognise that the recent BA announcement will be distressing news for BA employees and their families and we stand ready to support them.

Employers should always treat employees fairly and in a spirit of partnership. Terms and conditions of employment are for negotiation and agreement between employers and employees (or their representatives).

The Department for Transport is in regular contact with airlines, airports and unions to understand the impact that COVID-19 is having on the sector and its workers.
