British Airways has cancelled a number of its flights to and from the UAE because of a cabin crew strike, according to a report on Friday.

The National daily said that the BA105 flight from Heathrow to Dubai, due to depart at 8.40pm, will not fly on Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

BA104 from Dubai to Heathrow, scheduled to leave at 11am, will not fly on Monday, though it remains scheduled to depart as normal tomorrow and Sunday, The National added.

A three-day strike by British Airways cabin crew will go ahead from Saturday after talks with management collapsed, Britain's Unite union said on Friday.

"The strike that is planned for midnight tonight will go ahead as will the other strike we have announced," said Tony Woodley, Unite union joint general secretary.

"It is with great disappointment that I have to tell you all that negotiations have broken down," he told reporters.

A tough time for travelers over Easter.
