British Airways says it plans to cut a further 1,200 jobs after reporting a first-half loss for the first time.
The job loss announcement means the airline will have shed a total of 4,900 positions by March 2010.
The company suffered a loss before tax of £292m ($485m) for the six months to the end of September, compared with profits of £52m a year earlier.
The first half of BA's financial year is usually stronger because it covers the summer holiday season.
