Chief Executive Officer of British Airways, Willie Walsh, speaks to the media outside the Trade Union Congress headquarters in London, Friday March 19, 2010, after last ditch talks to avert a strike by cabin crew collapsed.

BA said it expects to operate around 65 percent of its scheduled flights over the next three days. Indian Express
