UK PM Johnson says supporting aviation sector, but cannot save every job

Wed, 15th Jul 2020 12:05

LONDON, July 15 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Boris
Johnson said that the government was doing a huge amount to
support the aviation sector but that it could not save all jobs,
responding to Labour Party leader Keir Starmer about cuts being
made at British Airways.

"We cannot...simply with a magic wand ensure that every
single job that was being done before the crisis is retained
after the crisis," Johnson said in parliament on Wednesday.

Johnson said that British Airways, like many companies, was
in severe difficulties as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
