BA crew vote for strike action

28th March 2011 British Airways have released the following statement:

Unite, the trade union for British Airways (BA) cabin crew, has announced that its strike ballot has closed in favour of strike action.

Unite has not yet set any dates for its proposed strike action and we remain in talks with them.

If a strike does take place, we have strong contingency plans in place. We will:

• Operate all our flights at London Gatwick and London City
• Aim to fly 100 per cent of our longhaul operation at London Heathrow
• Aim to fly the majority of our shorthaul flights to and from London Heathrow

All flights are currently operating as normal and any changes to bookings are subject to their terms and conditions.

Unite must give seven days' notice of any proposed strike action.
