According to reports, the passengers of Britain's top air carrier, British Airways (BA) look to be confronting another five-day strike, as this week's walkout reaches its final day.

Conflicts between BA and the Unite trade union started during the last year, when BA said it would lessen the number of cabin crew for long-haul flights from 15 to 14, making 1,000 full-time cabin crew staff redundant.

The airways also declared that the growth of salary would be frozen through 2010.

The trade union has since held a number of walkouts, the latest during May 30-June 3.

The management of the company stated that it regretted that the strike will continue through June 9 and guaranteed to do all things possible to diminish damages inflicted on riders. (With Inputs from Agencies)
