British Airways has welcomed the decision by the cabin crew branch of the Transport and General (T&G) Workers' Union to call off the strike, which was scheduled for January 30 and January 31, says a press release.

Willie Walsh, the airline's chief executive, said: "We are pleased that our negotiations with the T&G have resulted in an agreement that has removed the threat of strikes.

The flight that had been cancelled from Bangladesh on February 3, is expected to operate as normal.

If clients still wish to travel on any reinstated British Airways flight on these dates, they must contact the airline on 8815111 or through their respective travel agent to have their travel arrangements confirmed.
