Europe By Air

British Airways plans to get about 90 percent of its flights off the ground today at London Heathrow airport as the carrier recovers from a second walkout by cabin crew that ended at midnight.

The airline, canceled 31 of 319 flights from Heathrow today, according to its Web site. British Airways scrapped hundreds of trips when flight attendants followed a three-day strike with a four-day stoppage. The carrier faces the threat of more walkouts in April if it can’t resolve pay and staffing differences with 12,000 workers.
The dispute comes as transportation workers in Germany, France and the U.K. gear up for strikes. Lufthansa pilots may walk out for four days starting April 13 if they don’t reach agreement on conditions. Network Rail workers may disrupt U.K. train travel in a strike scheduled for April 6, and drivers at French railway SNCF may walk off the same day. Click here for BA updates.
