British Airways Announces 13% Pay Raise Amid UK’s Inflation

British Airways is set to give a 13.1% wage increase to approximately 24,000 employees over the next 18 months, reflecting the UK’s inflation rise and the travel sector’s recovery after the pandemic.

The decision, announced by the trade union ‘Unite the Union,’ marks a departure from the airline’s pandemic policy of layoffs and rehiring at reduced salaries, now that travel demand has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels.
