With a planned strike by British Airways (BA) just two days away, the airline has sought to give the assurance that contingency plans have been put in place to prevent disruption in travel to the Caribbean.
But already one regional destination has been told it will experience fallout.
The three-day strike action by BA’s cabin crew in the UK, over changes to pay and staffing levels imposed by the airline last November, is set to begin on Saturday, and has resulted in Sunday’s flight from the Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) to London being cancelled.
If a second strike goes ahead as planned next weekend, the flight scheduled for the following Sunday is also at risk of being axed.
The situation has left scores of travelers unsure when they will be able to return home.
The TCI was one of three Caribbean destinations which BA had told the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) it was considering options for, in light of the planned industrial action. The others were the Bahamas and Cayman Islands.
