LONDON (AP) - British Airways began mopping up Friday night, with flights starting to trickle out after a strike by ground crews ended, but it was expected to take days to get thousands of stranded passengers to their final destinations.
Though all the 1,000 striking workers returned to their jobs Friday afternoon, hundreds of flights had been canceled at one of the world's busiest airports during the peak of the summer travel season. The airline hoped to send 32 flights out of Heathrow, half to British or continental European locations, the rest to the Middle East, Asia and the United States.
Becky Thornton, a BA spokeswoman, said it would take several days before all the passengers are helped.
