    Citing operational reasons, British Airways has temporarily suspended direct flights between Islamabad Airport and London’s Heathrow Airport.

    According to Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) spokesperson, British Airways has suspended Islamabad-London flights from June 15 to June 30 due to some operational reasons.

    The spokesperson has termed all such reports claiming that the British airline has grounded all flights to Pakistan due to unavailability of fuel as “baseless and fake.”

    The airline will soon resume flights between Islamabad and London, he added.

    Back in February this year, British Airways suspended direct flights between Lahore and London Heathrow on completion of the duration of the agreement.

    According to Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) spokesperson, The UK-based airline had suspended Lahore-London flights due to some operational reasons.
