British Airways: Whilst the airline is battling the worst crisis in its history, more than 30,000 workers at British Airways have been suspended.  The airline employs 40,000 people in total. A deal has been agreed between BA and the unions. A modified version of the UK government’s job retention scheme is being offered to cabin crew and ground-based staff. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, 90% of BA’s fleet will be grounded in April and May.

American Airlines: $12bn financial support being asked from the US government. Last week the US Congress passed a coronavirus relief bill of $2.2tn, $50bn of which were set aside for airlines with half given as grants.
