Good Morning Britain's Simon Calder said it "feels like the end of summer as we know it" as British Airways workers voted for strike action.
The travel expert appeared on today's edition of the ITV news programme to discuss the ongoing chaos impacting the aviation industry. British Airways check in staff and ground crew at Heathrow voted to go on strike yesterday in a dispute over pay.
The workers are backed by Unite and GMB unions, who called on British Airways to reinstate workers pay back to pre-pandemic levels. Nadine Houghton, GMB national officer, said: "With grim predictability, holidaymakers face massive disruption thanks to the pig-headedness of British Airways. BA have tried to offer our members crumbs from the table in the form of a 10% one-off bonus payment, but this doesn't cut the mustard.
