British Airways strike to affect Cyprus flights

British Airways will not operate any passenger flights out of London Heathrow on Tuesday and Wednesday due to a planned strike by the cabin crew branch of the Transport & General Workers Union. All domestic and European flights to and from London Gatwick will also be cancelled.

London- Larnaca flight BA 662 and Larnaca- London flight BA 663 will not be operated on Tuesday January 30 and Wednesday January 31. Flights from Paphos airport to and from London Gatwick, operated by British Airways franchise partner GB Airways, will operate as normal.

Customers wishing to rebook their flights can contact their local BA contact centre on 22 -799999.

The airline will allow any customer due to travel on a British Airways flight cancelled by the strike to claim a full refund, rebook their flight for a later date or be rebooked by British Airways with another airline.

The airline remains committed to pursuit of a negotiated settlement before next Tuesday but wants customers to have early warning of its flying schedule to allow sufficient time for alternative travel arrangements to be made.

Customers are urged to check the airline’s website (www.ba.com) regularly and use the ‘Manage My Booking’ link to obtain information about their individual reservation.

Customers who were due to travel on any cancelled services should not come to the airport.

Customers should use the Manage My Booking facility on www.ba.com.  If customers wish to claim a refund then they should log onto www.ba.com and follow the instructions or apply in writing.
