LONDON (AFP) – British Airways management and union leaders clashed again Monday over the impact of a cabin crew strike, as the industrial action caused disruption for a third straight day.
The airline said it had operated 83 percent of long-haul flights over the weekend, up from 78 percent during a three-day strike the previous weekend, as well as 67 percent of short-haul flights -- up from 50 percent a week earlier.
The company also said it had leased only half as many non-BA aircraft with crews -- 11 compared to 22.
