BAA has denied reports in the national press over plans to cut 2,000 jobs at it's airports, including Heathrow.
However, the operator has said it is looking into making changes and possibly re-structuring the staff, Phil Groves, BAA spokesman, said: "The company has been undertaking an efficiency review for several months, of which staff are well aware. The review does not involve security or customer service staff at our airports, but covers back-office functions.
"No conclusions have yet been reached and the review is ongoing. BAA is committed to ensuring excellent security and customer service at every one of its airports.
"BAA is not planning to sell any of its airports and has not decided on any number of job cuts. Significant investment plans for improved facilities across our airports remain in place.
"Criticism of levels of service at BAA's London airports has its roots in the lack of runway capacity across the south-east and delays in increasing capacity as a result of planning issues."
