British Airways owner IAG has announced it is cutting flights due to coronavirus travel restrictions and quarantine requirements. The firm said it continues to expect it will take until at least 2023 for passenger demand to recover to 2019 levels. BA previously announced plans to cut 13,000 jobs and its competitors EasyJet and Virgin Atlantic are also slashing 4,500 roles. Owner IAG added that since July there has been an 'overall levelling off of bookings', IAG said. IAG also announced that it has reached an agreement in principle with the Unite union over changes to the pay and conditions of British Airways cabin crew, with a ballot expected to start shortly.
