I’m not saying Mr. Banner is any angel in all this, but the situation does squarely appear to have been made by BA, beginning to end.
And then BA can claim the costs of disruption from Banner, as per within the rights of the airline under CAA, and per CAA site airline can claim between £10k-£80k from the person disrupting, on top of the penalty fine.
