British Airways (BA) is entering conciliation talks with pilots in a bid to head off a walkout over pay at the height of the summer travel season.
The unit of IAG SA will meet with the BALPA union at the
UK’s Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service on Monday, spokespeople for the two sides told Bloomberg. The talks, which will focus on share awards and profit-sharing terms, come ahead of a July 22 deadline for pilots to vote in a strike ballot.
British Airways had been facing pay disputes with unions representing flight attendants and ground staff, as well as pilots, but said it had reached agreement with unions representing the first two groups.
