British Airways has said that it has run more flights than intended as cabin group started a second five-day strike.

The airline said that it had relaunched all flights from Heathrow to New York's JFK airport and would add more.

It claimed that its operations went "very well" during last week's act and that it had made another "good start".

The Unite union asserted that BA annulled over 100 flights on Sunday and said that its strikes persist to be robustly supported.

Unite has said that it would defer industrial action if BA returns travel benefits that it took from those cabin squad who went on strike in March.

The latest strike concurs with the half-term vacations, and could be pursued by more action beginning on 5 June.

A BA Spokesperson said, "Our global operations went very well throughout the first week of Unite's strike action and got off to another good start today”.

He said that if they could get restore the confidence and if they could get the travel grants back, he thinks an agreement is feasible.

They have declared a bigger schedule at Heathrow for this ring of strikes, owing to the number of team going for work.

Negotiations came to an end without reaching on an agreement on Friday, with Unite charging BA's Chief Executive, Willie Walsh for the gridlock.
