The last BA flight is due to arrive from Gatwick tonight at 8.40 and the aircraft will then stay in the Island ready to operate the first flight on Thursday morning. About 1,300 flights from both Gatwick and Heathrow are expected to be grounded as a result of the strike by members of the Transport and General Workers Union. The dispute is over sick leave, pay and conditions. However, last-ditch talks between BA bosses and union leaders were due to resume this morning.
