Last month's aborted strike by British Airways (BA) cabin crew has hit the airline's traffic figures. Revenue generated per passenger kilometre, a key measure of airline business, was down 2.8% in January with premium traffic worst affected.
BA cancelled 1,300 flights from Heathrow and Gatwick ahead of the planned strike.
Although the airline ultimately put on a full service once a deal was agreed, many services were far from full.
The airline has already said the row is likely to cost it �80m.
"This month's statistics were significantly impacted by the threat of industrial action," the airline said.
"Premium volumes suffered the largest reductions as most tickets are flexible and refundable and customers are easily able to move to other carriers."
