BA revealed a 97 percent fall in pre-tax profits
 

LONDON, England (CNN) -- British
Airways Chief Executive Rod Eddington
has told CNN of tougher times ahead
for Europe's biggest airline.

Speaking on the day BA revealed a 97
percent fall in pre-tax profits in the second
quarter, Eddington said the full impact of
the September 11 suicide attacks had still
to be felt by the industry.

"I have to say like all airline chief
executives that we look forward to the
next one, two, three and four months
without any great confidence that we
really know what's going to be happening
in the marketplace during that period," he
told CNN's Charles Hodson.
