BA predicts operating loss of £150mBritish Airways has admitted it is in line to record an operating loss of £150 million for the current financial year.

In a statement BA said the global credit crisis and the decline of sterling were behind the revision.

The news comes despite an anticipated four per cent year-on-year rise in revenue and traffic volumes in line with the market average.

In addition, fuel costs are expected to be broadly unchanged at about £3 billion due to the lower price of fuel being offset by the deteriorating pound.
