British Airways to Fly 75% of Flights in Looming Strike
Mar 26, 2010
LONDON (AFP) – Troubled British Airways said Friday it would fly more than three quarters of its customers during a four-day strike by cabin staff which starts this weekend.
The country's biggest trade union, Unite, staged a similar strike last week in a long-running dispute over changes to pay and working conditions.
"British Airways will fly more than 75 percent of customers booked to travel between tomorrow and March 30, despite these four days being targeted for strikes by Unite," the airline said in a statement on Friday.
