British Airways has suspended its route from London Heathrow to Leeds-Bradford.
The route launched in December 2012 and was one of the first new short-haul routes BA started at London Heathrow after its acquisition of bmi British Midland.
The route is officially suspended from 1 July 2020. Though, it has not operated since the end of March due to COVID-19.
It has evidently not been one of BA’s strongest performing domestic routes. Frequencies had been cut to around 10 return flights a week, operated only with Airbus A319 aircraft. This, combined with the fact that aircraft do not “night-stop” at Leeds-Bradford, makes it difficult for business travellers to use it for day trips to London.
When there is a demand shock to aviation, it is inevitable that weaker routes are subject to suspension.
If your flight is cancelled you are entitled to a full refund. Though, you will need to call BA to secure a refund instead of a voucher. It is possible to change to a BA flight between London Heathrow and Manchester. Though, any consequential costs will be at your expense.
BA has an interline agreement with London North Eastern Railway so you should also be able to change your journey between London and Leeds-Bradford to the train.
Affected passengers can check the status of their booking using the Manage My Booking tool on ba.com
