Sky News explains your rights as a consumer in the event BA is hit by strikes involving hundreds of check-in and ground-handling staff and explores why the airline - and others - are already cutting flights 👇

BA and others have been cutting flights for months - often on those routes which have frequent daily services - in a bid to prevent last-minute cancellations.

The unions want to give the airline some time to improve its pay offer to their members but any strike should not deal a killer blow to all BA services from Heathrow. In the event of a cancellation, BA can offer you an alternative but, crucially, is obliged to book you onto a rival's service if spare capacity is available.The consumer group Which? said BA would be liable for compensation too if it had to cancel services at short notice.

They are not cutting flights due to the strikes, they sacked loads of staff during the lockdowns and not rehired. Simple greed.
