A NEW route from the UK to a European capital city has been scrapped less than one year after it officially launched. The British Airways route between London Heathrow and Belgrade resumed last October following a 13-year hiatus. Despite only operating for eight months, the UK flag carrier has chosen to suspend flights between London Heathrow Airport and Belgrade for "commercial reasons".
British Airways told EX-YU Aviation News : "We regularly review our schedule, and due to commercial reasons, we have made the difficult decision to suspend our flights to Belgrade from September 29, 2024. "We’re contacting affected customers to apologize and offer them alternative options, including rebooking or a full refund." The airline currently operates three weekly service between the two capitals, with flights departing London every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.
Flights leave London Heathrow Airport at 7:50am before arriving in Belgrade at 11:35am local time. Return flights then leave the Serbian capital at 12:20pm and land back in the UK at 2:20pm. Sun Online Travel have found one-way tickets from £86 per person.
Despite only just announcing the route's suspension, British Airways hasn't ruled out a possible return. According to Aviation 24 , the airline will be reviewing the possibility of restoring flights between the two cities next summer. When the route was announced last year, the UK flag carrier was keen to highlight the strategic importance of the service.
