BA says bmi integration could mean 1,200 job losses

International Airline Group's British Airways said proposals it has presented to trade unions on the integration of UK regional airline bmi into its Heathrow operations could result in up to 1,200 redundancies.

BA said the integration proposals for bmi, which it said is losing over 3 million pounds ($4.8 million) a week, would retain about 1,500 jobs, including around 1,100 cabin crew, pilots and engineers based at Heathrow.
