LONDON (AP) - British Airways says talks with a cabin crew union aimed at averting a strike have broken down with no agreement.

A BA spokesman said Wednesday the company remains available for negotiations about the long-running dispute over pay, job security and working conditions.

Cabin crew voted last month to authorise a strike, but the union has said it would not disrupt the busy Easter holiday period.

BA has been training other staff members, including pilots, to staff cabins if there is a strike, and has also arranged to operate some fully crewed charter aircraft.
