British Airways plans to replenish its depleted workforce with as many as 4,000 new employees by next summer as it prepares for a wider rebound in air travel, Chief Executive Officer Sean Doyle said.

The IAG SA unit will add pilot, cabin-crew, ground-staff and back-office posts, Doyle said in an interview Monday. BA currently employs about 30,000 people, so that the move would boost headcount almost 15%.
