Due to the strike, which will effect both Gatwick and Heathrow, BA have announced the cancellation of 700 flights next week.
Well, at least that might give them a chance to get the thousands of bags still not returned to their customers sorted!!
PLANNED FLIGHT SCHEDULE FOR TUESDAY JANUARY 30 AND WEDNESDAY JANUARY 31, 2007
Customers flying OUT of the UK on Tuesday 30 January and Wednesday 31 January
British Airways will:
Operate no longhaul or shorthaul flights from London Heathrow during the strike period
Operate no shorthaul services from London Gatwick during the strike period
Longhaul services from London Gatwick will operate during the strike period except flights to Tampa, Bermuda and Barbados.
In addition the airline may experience further disruption to its flight schedule in the days following the strike as it seeks to recover its operation and position aircraft and crew around the world. Please visit 'latest flight news' for up to date information.
Customers flying INTO or via the UK on Tuesday 30 January and Wednesday 31 January
British Airways will:
Operate some longhaul flights into London Heathrow during the strike period
Operate no shorthaul services into London Heathrow during the strike period
Operate no shorthaul services from or into London Gatwick during the strike period
In addition the airline will cancel further services into the UK in the days following the strike as it seeks to recover its operation and position aircraft and crew around the world. Please visit 'latest flight news' for up to date information.
Industrial action will not affect flights operated by British Airways' subsidiary BA Connect or our franchise partners, BMED, GB Airways, Loganair, SunAir and Comair. Flights from Manchester to New York JFK, codeshare flights and services operated by our oneworld partners carrying a BA flight number will continue to operate as normal. Click Here for more information.
Customers are advised to check the 'arrivals and departures' information for the latest details.
Customers can also check whether their flight is operating by entering their booking reference number and name on the Manage My Booking section of ba.com or by contacting their travel agent.
British Airways plans to fly some empty longhaul aircraft FROM London Heathrow without any customers onboard during the strike period. This will ensure that the airline has aircraft and crew in the correct places so it can resume its flight schedule as quickly as possible.
However, it is likely that British Airways' flights will continue to be disrupted in the days following the strike as it seeks to recover its operation and position aircraft and crew around the world.
As a result, customers who are due to fly with British Airways in the days immediately after the strike are encouraged to check the 'arrivals and departures' information on ba.com, contact their local British Airways office or their travel agent to ensure their flight is operating as planned.
