Mike Street, director of customer services and operations, said:
"We face a complex logistical challenge with at least 100 aircraft
and 1,000 flying crew out of position. As a result it will take
some time to return to a normal flying program. We recognize how
frustrating this must be but we are working as hard as we can to
get customers away on their holidays." Transport and General
Workers Union staff have started to return to work after taking
unofficial action in support of former employees of Gate Gourmet,
the airline's catering supplier at Heathrow. DATASOURCE: British
