British Airways Suspends Beijing Service Blaming Russian Airspace Closure

(Bloomberg) — British Airways is to halt flights between London and Beijing in October because closed Russian airspace is complicating operations and demand in China remains weak.

The announcement comes a little over a year after BA resumed the service.

The airline, owned by IAG SA, said it will halt services until November next year and will keep its schedule under review. Its daily flights to Shanghai and Hong Kong will continue, according to a statement.
