Proposals for BA-branded subsidiary ditched after pilots refuse to back deal between airline and union
British Airways is abandoning plans for a short-haul, BA-branded subsidiary at Gatwick after pilots refused to back a deal between the airline and union.
BA suspended operations at the UK’s second-biggest airport at the start of the pandemic, and said it could only relaunch short-haul services if it could lower its cost base – including staff terms and conditions.
