Another Bristish Airways Strike to Begin May 18

British Airways expects to carry more than 70 percent of its customers, or over 60,000 passengers a day, during five days of strike action due to start next week, the airline said on Thursday.

The Unite union announced earlier this week that cabin crew would stage a further 20 days of strikes in May and June, threatening renewed misery for travellers already hit by walkouts and disruption caused by volcanic ash.
BA said in a statement that it had leased eight aircraft with pilots and crew provided by five different airlines to supplement those of its own staff who choose to work.
The latest bout of industrial action will see the first strikes begin on May 18 and run until May 22. Then there will be further walkouts on May 24-28, May 30-June 3 and June 5-9.

Unite has also said it will hold a further ballot of BA cabin crew for industrial action over issues arising from the company's conduct during the dispute.
BA said all flights at Gatwick and London City airports would operate as normal while at Heathrow BA it will operate more than 60 percent of long haul flights and 50 percent of short haul flights.
