British Airways axes Australia flights

BA is halving its direct flights to Australia from two a day, to one a day, after cancelling its service from London to Sydney via Bangkok.

This means that from March 2012, BA will only operate one flight to Sydney via Singapore.

BA will continue to fly directly to Bangkok, where it will end its journey. Passengers wishing to continue flying on to Sydney will be invited to do so with Qantas.

The once daily London – Singapore – Sydney flight will be the only direct BA flight to Australia. According to reports, BA will use a larger Boeing 747 plane, rather than its 777 - in order to accommodate more passengers.

A spokesman for BA revealed that Singapore is a better market for BA.
