The next route to join British Airways’ growing list of canceled flights in 2025 is London-Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Abu Dhabi (AUH). The route, operated by the carrier’s Boeing 787 fleet was only relaunched in April 2024, yet the service has become the latest casualty of the airline’s ongoing issues concerning delays to the delivery of Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines and parts that power its fleet of Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

According to an airline statement issued on December 18, 2024, the 3,432-mile (5,491km) route will be suspended by the carrier from March to October 2025, citing the ongoing issues it is facing with Rolls-Royce powerplants.

“We are disappointed that we’ve had to make further changes to our schedule as we continue to experience delays to the delivery of engines and parts from Rolls-Royce,” said a British Airways spokesperson. “We’ve taken this action because we do not believe the issue will be solved quickly, and we want to offer our customers the certainty they deserve for their travel plans.”
