There have been warnings about strikes affecting air travel in and from the UK this summer.
In particular, BA might suffer from strikes, and recently lost its action against BALPA in an attempt to fend off any strikes by pilots - https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/...ights-tickets/
My understanding is that the pilots have to give at two (2) weeks notice of any day which might be affected by their strike action. Is that correct? If so, then as we've not heard of any such notice, it's presumably relatively safe to assume that BA flights in the next few weeks will not be affected - though BA does from time to time have other reasons for cancelling flights - as do other airlines.
BA seems to be affected by computer problems which sometimes result in cancellations - though these aren't always publicised widely. Some Easyjet flights have recently been affected where ground staff have either gone on strike, or gone on a work to rule - for example closing an airport at a pe-determined time, so that any flight which is delayed will be cancelled as the plane won't be able to land, or there'll be no ground staff to deal with luggage etc.
