BA still cancels flights in the aftermath of strikes

British Airways is still cancelling flights in the aftermath of a three-day strike by cabin crew.
The airline's website shows it has cancelled nearly 200, or more than 19%, of flights that had been scheduled up to midnight on Tuesday.
BA is reviewing its schedule for a further strike between 27 and 30 March.
No further talks to resolve the dispute are planned ahead of the next walkout, but unions have challenged BA chief Willie Walsh to return to negotiations.
BA says the majority of services in the next four days will operate normally.
But on Tuesday, in the immediate aftermath of the strike, its services at a number of major British airports continued to be disrupted.
More cancellations
At London Heathrow, its biggest UK hub, it has cancelled 14% of outgoing flights and more than a third (34.2%) of arrivals.
At Manchester, more a a fifth of all services have been cancelled.
At Newcastle, the figure is even higher, at 58.3%.
Aberdeen, with more than 28% of BA flights cancelled, and Glasgow, at 18.2%, are also among the worst-hit.
Gatwick, London City, Birmingham, Belfast and Inverness are unaffected.
In a statement issued to the London Stock Exchange about its operations over the weekend, BA said it estimated the three-day strike had cost the company £7m a day.
