Cabin crew dispute - latest information
Last updated 11:00 15 December 2010
Unite has informed us of its decision to ballot BA cabin crew members for further strike action.
The ballot will run between 21 December and 21 January. If the ballot result is in favour of industrial action, the earliest the
crew could go on strike would be 28 January.
Should there be any industrial action, we are determined to keep flying and will ensure our customers are looked after.
We have strong contingency plans in place and should industrial action take place:
* we will operate a normal schedule at London Gatwick and London City
* we will aim to fly 100 per cent of our longhaul operation at London Heathrow
* we will aim to fly a substantial proportion of our shorthaul operation at London Heathrow
In the meantime, all flights continue to operate as normal.
We will keep ba.com up-to-date with the latest information.
p.s. Despite the sneering remarks by John Humphrys and the abysmal BAA rep on Friday's Radio 4 'Today', British Airways appear to have called it absolutely correctly re the LHR snow closure.
