BA (British Airways) have been flying phantom flights containing only pilots and freight between the UK and USA.

According to SMH “BA has been flying airliners from Britain to North America this month without a single passenger aboard because of a cabin crew shortage”.

Naturally environmental groups are enraged at this incident.

Fox reports that “the airline (BA) has been promoting its green-friendly policies and has even begun levying an increase on fuel surcharges to passengers”. And now they do this: emit huge amounts of pollution into the atmosphere all to send some cargo across The Pond and to retain their valuable slots at Heathrow and Gatwick.
