"Trade Union Unite announces further strike action

The Trade Union Unite has announced its intention to take further strike action.

Dates announced are:
18-22 May
24-28 May
30-3 June
5-9 June

We are disappointed that Unite, the trade union for British Airways (BA) cabin crew, has announced that it intends to take further strike action.

We are currently considering our response so we can minimise any disruption during this strike period.

All our flights are operating as normal at the moment.

Interim advice for customers with a booking 18 May - 9 June 2010

Our operational teams are currently working around the clock to finalise details of our operating schedule for the strike period. We hope to be able to start publishing our schedule later this week.

In the meantime, we are putting in place customers guidelines that will outline the options available to customers whose travel plans are affected by the planned strike by Unite.

We hope to publish these guidelines this afternoon (Tuesday 11 May). In the meantime, if you receive the questions regarding our plans, please use the following as guidance. Full details of our customer handling guidelines will be made available as soon as possible.

Advice for customers/agents

Thanks to the excellent support from our cabin crew at London Gatwick, all flights operating from/ to London Gatwick will be operating normally throughout the strike period
As will flights to/from London City
As such, normal conditions of carriage will apply for flights to/from London Gatwick and London City airports
All flights operated by our franchise, subsidiary and oneworld partners will operate normally
At London Heathrow we plan to operate a large part of our long haul schedule and a number of flights to every destination across our short haul schedule
We are also speaking to a number of carriers about leasing extra aircraft to support the short haul schedule


In the event we do cancel flights then the following options will be available for customers:

- Rebook to an alternative date
