British Airways (BA) is scaling back its long-haul route network during the northern 2021 summer season as part of efforts to cut costs and adjust to the lower level of travel demand in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Thirteen destinations are being permanently cut from the oneworld alliance member’s schedule, while three more are being suspended until October. The decision affects routes from the UK to the US, South Korea, Japan and South Africa among others.
“We are sorry that, like other airlines, due to the current coronavirus pandemic and global travel restrictions we are operating a reduced and dynamic schedule,” a statement released by BA said. “We will be in touch with any customers whose flights are affected and advise customers to check ba.com for the latest flight information.”
