BA to suspend Dhaka-London flights in March
British Airways has decided to suspend its flights between Dhaka and London Heathrow from March 28 next year, considering non-profitability of the route in recent times.
"The decision to suspend flights between Dhaka and London has been a difficult one to make. However, the route is not making a profitable contribution to our business and we are unable to sustain it," said the airline's Area Commercial Manager for South Asia Amanda Amos.
"We will continue to offer a cargo operation, using connecting flights via the Middle East," she said in a press release.
Customers who had booked British Airways flights after March 28, 2009 from Dhaka will be contacted by the airline for making alternative arrangements.
British Airways has been operating flights to and from Bangladesh since the mid-1970s, at present operating three flights a week between Dhaka and London.
