British Airways parent company, International Airlines Group, released its half year results last Friday.
The results were, overall, very positive. All three IAG airlines (BA, Iberia, and Vueling) reported increased profits year on year.
However, IAG, did sound a note of caution. The group will moderate planned capacity growth for the rest of the year with BA and Iberia in particular shaving off a couple of per cent of their growth.
In the case of BA, this will not be done by way of route suspensions or cancellations, but by tactical cancellations of flights during quiet periods.
This is certainly nothing new. However, we do seem to be learning about such cancellations much earlier and they recover relatively longer periods.
Here are some cancellations we have been made aware of:
London Gatwick
BA’s thrice weekly London Gatwick – Las Vegas (BA2277, BA2276) service will be suspended from 3 December 2014 to 11 March 2015.
Affected passengers can be accommodated on BA’s daily service from London Heathrow to Las Vegas.
