For the first time in the history of British Airways, which was established in 1974, the pilots have called for a strike. The British Airline Pilots Association (BALPA) had a heated argument with the authorities over increase in pay to which the authorities disagreed leading BALPA to call for a strike on Monday, September 9 which went on to Tuesday, September 10.
Due to this, almost all Mumbai-London flights have been cancelled. According to a statement issued by British Airways, over two lakh people were due to travel on September 9 and 10. British Airways has further stated that it would lead 'as many customers as possible' to rebook on other flights or offer refunds.
