BA cancels flights for 150,000 travellers
25 January 2007British Airways was today forced to cancel virtually all of its flights out of London next Tuesday and Wednesday because of a strike by more than 11,000 cabin crew.
In a dramatic move, the airline scrapped all of its 550 flights from Heathrow and a further 170 from Gatwick.
Only six long-haul flights will still go ahead, from Gatwick. It means more than 150,000 passengers booked to fly with BA during the two strike days have been left with their winter holidays and business trips in ruins.
