British Airways (BA) has confirmed it is to cut 7,000 jobs.
The company says the cutbacks are due to the impact of the US terrorist attacks on transatlantic business.
BA had already announced 1,800 job losses earlier this month.
BA has been hit by the disruption following the attacks, and expects a fall in passenger numbers on transatlantic routes - which make up 38 per cent of its capacity.
The latest announcement follows the decision by American Airlines and United Airlines to cut 40,000 jobs between them.
