BA strike: No 10 tells BA and pilots to 'sort out' strike

6 September 2019

British Airways and its pilots have been urged by Number 10 to "sort out" the dispute which will see pilots walk out next week in a row over pay.

"The unions and BA need to get round the table and sort this out. The public would expect nothing less," it said.

BA pilots are due to strike on Monday and Tuesday over a pay offer pilots' union Balpa says is too low.

The vast majority of flights are expected to be cancelled on those two days, causing knock-on disruption.

BA would not say how many flights had been affected, but reports suggested it was around 1,600 flights.
