"We had been planning to resume - on a pretty significant basis - our flying in July.British Airways considers redundanciesHe added:"Despite the fact that there had been some rumours about this quarantine period, I don't think anybody believed that the UK government would actually implement it if they were serious about getting the economy moving again."
Pressed by members of the committee over the job losses, Mr Walsh, whose group also includes Iberia and Aer Lingus, said:"We are not picking on British Airways. "We're not doing anything that we don't think is absolutely necessary to secure the survival of British Airways and we're doing exactly the same with the other airlines in the group."Mr Walsh said:"Our restructuring is solely driven by the fact that we are now in the deepest downturn that the aviation industry has ever seen.
"I don't think I need to hide the scale of it, because it's obvious to everybody. We're not flying our aircraft to transport passengers." He added:"The industry has changed and anybody who believes that we're going back to the way things were in 2019 misunderstands the scale of the challenge that is being faced."
