Air freight update: Heathrow strike latest information

While the strikes planned by Dnata and Menzies Cargo ground workers were called off, aviation services company Menzies has today seen 350 of its ground staff at Heathrow Airport walk out over pay disputes.

Beginning today (18th November) the strikes will also run on Saturday, 19th and Sunday, 20th November and will cause disruption across Heathrow's terminals 2, 3 and 4 with the following airlines most likely to be impacted:

• Aer Lingus
• Air Canada
• Air Portugal
• American Airlines
• Austrian Airlines
• Egypt Air
• Finnair
• Lufthansa
• Qantas
• Swiss Air

The decision for Dnata and Menzies Cargo not to strike means that routings for the Qatar World Cup will remain unaffected.
