BA to operate all Heathrow long-haul services during strike

British Airways will operate all its long-haul services to and from Heathrow during a 3-day cabin crew strike this week and cancel a small number of short-haul flights, the airline has announced. Members of the Unite union will take industrial action from Thursday in a long-running dispute over pay. BA cancelled 44 flights last week because of a 48-hour stoppage by members of the mixed fleet, made up of workers who have joined the airline since 2010. BA said: “We will operate all our long-haul services to and from Heathrow and all services to and from Gatwick, London City and Stansted. We will merge a small number of our short-haul services at Heathrow, resulting in the cancellation of only 1% of our total scheduled flights across the 3 days." <br/>
