With the second lot of strikes nearly at an end and no talks between the British Airways or cabin crew, Unite the union have threatened to take further industrial action after the Easter break.

Unite, which represents 12,000 cabin crew workers from British Airways are claiming success on its second walkout, saying that passengers are suffering due to "BA's hyped-up claims" of running a functioning operation.

"Mr Walsh needs to stop claiming that BA is flying more passengers because he isn't.  Where he can, he is putting BA customers onto other carriers and paying heavily for their services in so doing," said Len McCluskey, Unite Assistant General Secretary.

"But where BA is trying to fly its own routes it is clear they are failing. Dozens of flights flew yesterday without passengers and crew.  Dozens more were simply cancelled, and [on Sunday] over 130 flights will not leave."

The union has hinted at more disruption after these strikes end on Tuesday night, but due to an earlier promise of not striking during Easter, a window for further talks are able to take place before the union's self-imposed truce finishes on the 14th of April.

While British Airways admits that one in four booked on travels during this recent strike period won't get off the ground, it will still be able to transport 180,000 passengers during the 27th to 30th of March.
