Unite has called another strike ballot among members of British Airways cabin crew.
The ballot will open on Monday, 25 January, and run for four weeks.
We are saddened but not surprised that Unite has called another strike ballot.
If Unite eventually proceeds to an actual strike, we will continue to put our customers’ interests first. We will provide assistance for those crew who wish to work normally and we will explore all options to enable us to operate the best flying programme possible under the circumstances.
We are utterly determined to protect our customers’ travel plans as much as we possibly can, and we remain available for talks at any time without preconditions.
Our cabin crew are rightly renowned for their skills and professionalism. Under the package we have put forward, our crew will remain the best rewarded in the UK. There would be absolutely no justification for a strike.
If strike dates are announced, customers booked to travel during that period will be able to rebook, free of charge and subject to availability, onto other British Airways flights outside of the strike period for up to 12 months from the original date of travel.
Refunds will be available if flights are actually cancelled.
In the event that cancellations are made due to strike action, customers booked to travel during that period will be able to: - Rebook onto another British Airways flight within 12 months of the original date of travel
- Rebook onto another British Airways flight to/from the nearest alternative airport (for example, if booked to/from Boston you could rebook to/from Philadelphia or New York)
- Cancel a booking and get a refund.
All rebooking options will be subject to availability.
More detailed information about rebooking options, including specific dates covered by these guidelines will be made available if a strike is announced.
Normal conditions of carriage will apply for any flights that are cancelled outside of the strike period.
British Airways Executive Club members will continue to earn Tier Points and BA Miles for flights cancelled due to any strike action.
