BA Strike Delayed

A proposed strike at British Airways (BA) has been postponed for 24 hours to allow more time for negotiations between cabin crew staff and management.

Members of the Transport and General Workers Union (TGWU) had been due to start a three-day strike on January 29th. As a result, travelers flying on this day should be able to travel as normal. However, if negotiations are not settled by this date, planned industrial action will still go ahead on January 30th and 31st, in a move that could affect thousands of travelers.

BA has put together a set of contingency plans and have communicated these with the travel industry. If you think you may be affected by the strike, please contact your travel agent.

This is a good time to remind you that travel agents are a valuable resource for travelers when something unexpected like this happens. They are apprised of the most up to date information from the airline, they can give you give you options and help you to rearrange your travel plans. Having a professional on your side goes a long way when something like this happens.
