BA set to announce heavy losses

BRITISH Airways said today that cabin crew strikes and Iceland's volcanic ash cloud had sent the beleaguered airline 164 million into the red for the three months to June 30.

The combination of the bitter industrial dispute with the Unite union and the closure of most of European airspace for almost a week in April cost the airline around 250 million over the quarter.

But chief executive Willie Walsh said the airline had seen an improved operating performance despite the disruptions and BA still expects to break even this year after two years of losses.
