LONDON (AP) - British Airways PLC on Friday admitted anticompetitive behavior while posting a net loss for its latest quarter.
The airline said it has earmarked 350 million pounds ($690 million) to cover fines that are likely to stem from an investigation into whether senior staff had discussed fuel surcharges on tickets with rivals, after acknowledging "breaches" of policy.
BA reported a net loss of 124 million pounds ($244.5 million) in the fourth quarter, compared to a net profit of 80 million pounds ($157.8 million) a year ago, after threatened cabin crew strikes in January and a new British tax on flights bit into the carrier's bottom line.
