British Airways suspends Abu Dhabi to Heathrow summer service

Flights to the UAE capital to resume in October 2025

British Airways has suspended some flights between Abu Dhabi and Heathrow for summer 2025.

The news comes just months after summer flights between the destinations resumed after a four-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

According to a local media source, an airline customer service representative said the last trip between Heathrow and Abu Dhabi will be on 30 March 2025. Passengers, however, will continue to be able to fly to and from Dubai International airport with BA during this period.

Flights to the UAE capital will resume from October 25, 2025.

The customer service representative said that while they cannot confirm why the cuts have been made, "guidelines from IATA" (International Air Transport Association) say that flights between Abu Dhabi and Heathrow will be suspended.

Earlier, while speaking to Reuters, the airline said it has had to make additional schedule changes over engine issues.

Additional schedule changes have been made over an issue involving 1,000 engines for its Boeing 787 aircraft, British Airways said to Reuters on Thursday without confirming the cut to the Abu Dhabi-Heathrow route.

The airline had already cut long-haul flights this year because of delays in the delivery of engines and parts from Rolls-Royce.
