10,000 British Airways passengers on Irish routes affected by strike

But intending passengers who are booked to make long-haul connections from the UK could face misery when they land, as British Airways has announced the cancellation of more than 1,500 flights worldwide - making the industrial action the largest strike in the company’s history.

Code share flights between BA and Aer Lingus on the Belfast City Airport route to the UK remain scheduled.All intending passengers have been advised to check their flight online or with the airlines, but not to turn up at airports if their flight is cancelled. Balpa has said further strikes could be implemented before the end of the year in the increasingly acrimonious dispute which has already seen the pilots reject an 11.5 per cent pay rise, taking their total pay package to around €220,000 a year.
