BA strike cancelled

18th May 2010 British Airways has won a High Court injunction to stop the latest strikes by its cabin staff. The decision was based on a technicality and whether the Unite union followed rules in contacting its members with strike result details. The first of four five-day walkouts had been due to begin at midnight, but will not go ahead following Mr Justice McCombe's decision.

The union said it would appeal against the injunction decision.

British Airways have now started to reinstate some of our previously cancelled longhaul flights on 18 May into and out of Heathrow.

If you do not have a confirmed booking, please do not go to the airport.
Ash disruption permitting, BA aim to restore a full flying programme at Heathrow by the weekend.

BA will also offer a full programme at Gatwick and London City, as planned.
