90% of Scots BA flights will be hit by strike
Scotland will be cut off for thousands of air travellers this weekend after British Airways said just 10 out of 108 flights would take place between Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and London Heathrow because of the Unite strike over pay, job cuts and working conditions.
As the carrier insisted that from Saturday through to next Monday the majority of its flights remained in its schedule, travellers to and from Scotland looked set to bear the brunt of the inconvenience.
BA said it aimed to fly 45,000 passengers a day across its UK service, representing about 60% of customers. However, 30,000 a day will still be affected.
Just one out of 36 flights between Glasgow and Heathrow will operate this weekend, two out of 46 between Edinburgh and Heathrow and seven out of 26 between Aberdeen and Heathrow.
