BA publishes the percentage of flights operating, but it would be interesting to know the percentage of RPK's (revenue passenger km) achieved.

Looking at yesterdays flights, many of the longhaul destinations had a 100% operation (with passengers) compared to the pre-strike schedule. Some examples are; New York (6/6), Los Angeles (3/3), Sydney (2/2), San Francisco (2/2). This also applied to many of the longer European destinations such as Rome (6/6) and Nice (6/6).

In contrast many of the shorter routes had high cancellation rates such as Manchester (0/8), Glasgow (1/9), and Edinburgh (2/11).

By my calculations (I'm bored, waiting for new carpets to arrive), BA flew over 90% of scheduled RPK's ex LHR yesterday (LGW and LCY 100%).
