No details on who are affected yet but a heads-up for anyone using LGW over the Bank Holiday.

Between this and the cock up yesterday in LHR T3, Batman on the M25. Not the weekend to be travelling.

Airlines including Virgin Atlantic, Monarch, Thomson Fly and First Choice would be affected if the action later this month went ahead.

I thought VS were handled by Groundstar? Is that now Swissport?

The Swissport staff at Manchester are joining the party too on 27 August and 1 September for 24 hours - BBC story

So what do you do if you have a flight with VS on one of the dates, at one of the affected airports? How do you stand, should you contact the airline now????

Swissport UK acquired Groundstar in 2004-ish, I think.
