British Airways cabin crew strike information
By Darren Cronian on Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Unfortunately, there’s still no agreement between UNITE and British Airways (BA), so the cabin crew strike commenced yesterday and at the time of writing this post, it will continue until 29 May. According to the airline, passengers can either receive a full refund or rebook their flight for another time.

Strikes having a massive impact on the airline

There are two further five-day walkouts planned on 30 May and 5 June, threatening to disrupt the journeys of millions of passengers during the school half term. If you have a flight booked then visit the BA site for strike updates, and if I find out any more information I will update this post.

The cabin crew strikes are obviously having a massive impact on the airline, and I suspect that many passengers will be put off flying with them until the dispute is resolved.

Here’s the latest update from British Airways.

Unite strike is causing an impact at Heathrow only.

British Airways Gatwick departures are operating normally.

British Airways routes from Gatwick, which are not (and have never been) affected, so passengers should not be put off flying with them for all destinations. Many European airports shorthaul and many longhaul are from Gatwick and all operating as per normal.

Gatwick to Antigua, Barbados, Grenada, Tobago, Trinidad, St Lucia, St Kitts, Bermuda, Jamaica, Atlanta USA, Miami USA, Orlando USA, Tampa USA – are All OK and operating as normal. I repeat NO STRIKE AT GATWICK.

My cousin and her family are due to fly to Oz next week from Glasgow to Heathrow then Heathrow out to Oz.

They’ve been told the Oz flight is cancelled and that as it’s a codeshare with Qantas, they can’t get a refund.

I mean seriously? I’m wondering if she means that she can’t get a refund on the GLA -> LHR end of things but the whole shebang was booked in one go as far as I’m aware.

I did wonder whether only those travelling with BA would be affected or whether there might be a knock on effect to ground staff that could affect other airlines.
