"It’s expected that up to 40,000 passengers will hit by flight cancellations. The airline is to get in touch and offer a refund or alternative booking.

The pilots are to begin an indefinite work-to-rule from next Wednesday after balloting for industrial action, which means they will not engage in overtime or out-of-hours duties."
