British Airways said it welcomes the new measures that will allow them to take place.

After a week of travel chaos, the airport ordered flights to be canceled because it couldn't handle them. On Thursday and Friday, passengers at the airport complained of long lines, canceled flights and lost luggage as a result of schedule intervention and the strikes in Spain.

The airline is in favor of measures that will allow airlines to reduce their schedules but retain their slots for the next year.

David Lammy apologized for getting incorrect information about the British Airways strike.

The airline told the PA news agency that the cancellation of take-off and landing slots would help them to provide certainty to their customers by making it easier to consolidate some of their quieter daily flights.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the worst hit by a raft of new cancelations would be the British Airways services at Heathrow.

According to the World Airport Slots Guide system, allocating slots means airlines can offer the consistent services and efficient connections that consumers are looking for.

Industrial action is threatening. As they faced "fire and rehire" tactics during the Pandemic, British Airways staff are demanding 10% of their pay back.
