are the (possible) fuel strikes likely to effect airports/flights?

HI
ive looked around, and cant really find much

is it expected that the fuel issues will cause flights to be cancelled? or any other problems?

google doesnt really say much?

    Hope you aren't flying out of Stansted because, according to the Union Rep on the BBC just now, the GMB baggage handlers are saying they're going to strike at Easter.

    I don't think they're allowed to call a strike that quickly anymore so I'd say you should be alright ........ but I'm not a Union person so.....

    Here's an article on the Stansted strike

    The hauliers affected do deliver to airports so there is the possibility they'll be affected if strike action takes place.
    Fortunately there's less chance of panic buying up front.
  • Hi i do not want to worry people but today at Hatton cross on the A30 i was in the queue for petrol and behind me in the queue was a jumbo & an BA Airbus queueing for fuel.

    i think that's awful - if the passengers were on board they should have let them jump the queue
