Crystallisation of the British Airways Air Cabin Crew Fund (ACCF)
With Effect From 6th April 2026
To all current ACCF Members,
The British Airways Air Cabin Crew Fund (ACCF) Committee has informed British
Airways that the 2026 Annual General Meeting of the ACCF unanimously passed a
resolution, proposed and recommended by the ACCF Committee, to crystallise the
Fund on April 6th, 2026.
​
ACCF have told BA that this decision, taken after 54 years of dedicated and
successful support of BA Cabin Crew members, was underpinned by months of
detailed analysis of various options going forward.
​
Further information for existing ACCF Members
​
As an ACCF member you currently make monthly contributions to the ACCF via
payroll and we want to outline what this will mean for you: -
a) You remain a member of the Fund, which the ACCF Committee has confirmed
is now closed to new members.
b) You will no longer be required to make any further monthly financial
contributions to the Fund
c) Your final ACCF contribution was the one deducted from your March payslip.
d) The ACCF Committee have confirmed that:
i. The ACCF will continue to operate until all remaining funds have been
fully distributed.
ii. It is anticipated that this may be no sooner than 2029 but is dependent
upon the sickness rates amongst existing members.
iii. In the short to medium term, while funds remain, you will continue to be
eligible for exactly the same support and benefits of the Fund that you
currently enjoy.
iv. If you were to become long-term sick while funds remain available, you
would continue to receive payments in line with the current guidance as shown at https://.accf.co.uk/about in the 'WHAT WE DO' panel.
​
Most importantly - To ensure you receive any eligible payments, please
confirm that the ACCF holds your correct contact details. You can do this by
emailing Wendy Ransom, the ACCF Administrator (who can be contacted at
Wendy.Ransom@ba.com) with details of your current home address.
WHAT IS THE AIR CABIN CREW FUND
The Air Cabin Crew Fund was founded in 1971 as a self help group to keep in touch with, and support, Cabin Crew colleagues who are away from work due to medium or long term sickness.
This includes personal contact and financial support.
In the last 3 months we have spent over £35,000 on supporting our sick Cabin Crew Members. Plus, of course, the personal contact.
