British Airways to eliminate 5,000 office staff

British Airways Plc, Britain’s biggest airline, is set to eliminate additional 5,000 office jobs to cut costs, Reuters reported.

The job cuts are in addition to the number already announced as part of BA’s Future Size and Shape restructuring program.

In November, the UK flag carrier said that it was on track to deliver 13,000 job cuts to cope with the industry downturn.
