Thursday 1 February 2024

As will be well known here, there is a wide impact strike of ground staff in many German airports. Since security is the particular area affected then this broadly makes it impossible to enter from landside to airside, and restricts some connection arrangements. Consequently BA have cancelled some services to Germany, but cancelled rather more services from Germany - in other words it's one way only. So consequently I am listing flights in both directions today.

Flights from LHR cancelled, all are APRN:
BA908 FRA
BA938 DUS
BA996 CGN
BA976 HAJ

Flights to LHR cancelled, again APRN
BA987 BER
BA979 HAJ
BA999 CGN
BA967 HAM
BA909 FRA
BA985 BER
BA975 HAM
BA905 FRA
BA983 BER
BA969 HAM
BA993 BER
BA939 FRA
BA903 FRA
BA997 CGN
BA991 BER
BA977 HAJ
BA917 STR
BA965 HAM
BA901 FRA
BA963 HAM
BA935 DUS
BA957 HAJ
BA981 BER

Also cancelled

BA142 DEL-LHR
(no idea about that one, other than it's delayed until tomorrow)

There are quite a lot of non BA cancellations today, including AY for their separate strike. 310 BA departures today.
