UK Government Refuses To Act on Layoffs after Airline Bailouts
UK aviation minister says government cannot act to stop layoffs at BA and EasyJet and will not extend further support to the country's aviation industry.

UK aviation minister Kelly Tolhurst told the country’s parliament on Wednesday that British Airways and EasyJet should not be laying off workers who have been furloughed with their salaries paid by taxpayer funding. However, she claimed that the government can do nothing to stop the job losses and said that it has no plans to extend financial support to the struggling sector.
