Like all unions with members who work internationally, and as the professional body and trade union for UK pilots, BALPA is closely monitoring the unfolding events in the Middle East. The safety of our members is always our first priority.   

Our Company Council representatives are working hard with the airlines to ensure that everything is done to keep our members protected and safe. 

BALPA members should raise any concerns or direct questions to your Company Council (CC) in the first instance. In the event of more urgent advice, members should contact BALPA on +44 (0) 208 476 4099. Our emergency line is staffed 24/7.  

Our members’ safety and welfare remain our absolute priority.
