Virgin staff face the axe
UP to 600 jobs are at risk at Sir Richard Branson's airline Virgin Atlantic.
The airline said it was "currently consulting with staff about the possibility of up to 600 redundancies across the business".
Virgin went on: "We are keeping our staff fully informed and will be working closely with staff and union representatives in order to find ways to protect as many jobs as possible and avoid compulsory redundancies."
Virgin Atlantic chief executive Steve Ridgway added: "No airline is immune from the recession."
