Jobs of British Airways Directors Under Threat, Telegraph Says
Aug. 29 (Bloomberg) --
Three senior directors at British Airways Plc face pressure as Chief Executive Rod Eddington starts an investigation into last week's flight delays, the Sunday Telegraph said, citing an unidentified executive at the airline.
The positions of Mike Street, the airline's director of customer services, and Mervyn Walker, director of U.K. airports, are under threat, the newspaper said. The job of Peter Read, an operations director, is also under threat, the paper said.
Europe's second-biggest airline grounded 60 departing flights last Monday and Tuesday. On Wednesday, four flights were canceled. British Airways has cut 13,000 jobs and slashed costs by 869 million pounds ($1.57 billion) in three years to counter competition from low-cost carriers such as EasyJet Plc.
