BA unveils impact of June strike action

Strike action contributed towards an 11% drop in traffic for British Airways in June.

The airline said the first nine days of the month were hit by industrial disputes with cabin crew and led to an 11.1% fall in revenue passenger kilometers.

The decrease comprised a 9.2% drop in premium traffic and an 11.4% fall in non-premium traffic.

In its June statement, BA said underlying market conditions continue to show improvement.

It also said online holiday bookings were up 56% compared to last year, due to the introduction of dynamic packaging on ba.com.
