The seven days of cabin crew strikes left their mark on British Airways' passenger figures for March, official statistics have demonstrated.
The airline carried just fewer than 2.3 million passengers last month - a 14.6% reduction on the March 2009 total of just over 2.6 million.
BA credited half of the decline to winter capacity reductions and half to the strikes which saw cabin crew walk out from March 20-22 and March 27-30.
The refuse last month was most marked in the Asia Pacific sector, which was down 25.3% compared with March 2009.
Economy-class passenger numbers were down 12.2% last month, while premium traffic (first-class and business-class) refused 7.2%.
The Unite union, representing the cabin crew, pledges not to acquire any action over Easter and is yet to proclaim any further strikes.
