A friend in Sweden has been notified by the British Embassy in Stockholm that BA ARN-LHR will he suspended from 9 April. There will be no more direct flights between the UK and Sweden for the foreseeable future. Is this part of a wider draw down of BA European routes?

I don't know anything for sure, but I certainly wouldn't be surprised. The loads on the little flying they are doing are truly awful, with passenger numbers barely into double figures on many short-haul Airbus services. Although far less than a full schedule, they must still be losing a fortune doing it.

I get that some flights are carrying freight and some are repatriation but it is noticeable BA are still running a number of short haul routes which don’t obviously seem to tick either of those boxes. It seems odd they’re carrying on when most others (certainly in U.K.) have stopped days/weeks back
