British Airways

[sam dilly]

I have relatives travelling today on BA from Tel Aviv to Heathrow.
BA have cancelled due to some misterious Israeli strike that doesnt seem to be affecting any other Airline.
The rellies, have been told to come back on Thursday !
no offer of a hotel, or any help whatsoever, just told , if you dont like the wait then cancel, and we will give you your money back, not easy when every other airline for immediate travel is really expensive.
Will BA have to help ?
HELP ?:mad:

Workers at Israel's main airport went on strike, grounding all departing flights and disrupting travel during the busy holiday season.
Unions representing staff at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion airport declared the partial strike after pensions talks collapsed.
The industrial action ended on Monday evening.
Flights already en route to Israel were be allowed to land, but no luggage would be unloaded, unions said. All departing flights were cancelled.
Airport officials said talks were under way to try to resolve the dispute.
The strike is expected to interfere with the plans of over 29,000 passengers travelling to and from Israel on Monday alone, Israeli press reports said.
The strike comes in the midst of a busy holiday period, as families wind down Rosh Hashanah celebrations and prepare to mark Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
The Israel Airports Authority's employees' union is demanding guarantees that pension funds will not be used
