BA
unveils ‘good results despite operational difficulties’
|
Cost cutting and exchange rate benefits
pushed up British Airways’ profits in April, May and June.
Pre-tax profits during the period rose
year-on-year from £191 million to £289 million, but BA admitted that
yields had been “flat before exchange”.
BA chief executive Willie Walsh, said:
“These are very good results despite operational difficulties at
Heathrow.
Profits are up as a result of the steps
we took last year to control costs and strengthen our business.”
