BA to suspend Israeli flights
18/03/2003 - 12:18:26 pm

British Airways is suspending services to Kuwait and Israel because of the imminent Iraqi war, it was announced today.

The last London to Kuwait flight was operating today and London-Tel Aviv services will cease after a final flight tomorrow.

“We are suspending services in the light of (Britain's) Foreign Office advice about travel to these areas,” said a BA spokeswoman.

BA normally operates one flight a day between Heathrow and Kuwait, while there is a twice-a-day Heathrow-Tel Aviv service.

There will be just one London to Israel flight tomorrow before the service is suspended.

BA has already reduced its London to Dubai services from two a day to one. It is continuing to fly to Doha and Bahrain as well as to Jeddah and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.
