There continues to be ongoing disruption to travel following the Coronavirus guidance  in the UK and travel restrictions to and from many of the countries we operate to.

We’re continually reviewing our flying programme in response to the ongoing impact of Covid-19 restrictions. This week we have recommenced passenger services from London Heathrow to Antigua and Johannesburg, but we have also taken the difficult decision to delay the restart of further services.

As a result of ongoing travel restrictions between the UK and US, we have pushed back the restart of some transatlantic flights to early August, including our London Heathrow services to Orlando, Seattle, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Manchester to Orlando, Atlanta, Los Angeles and New York-JFK. World-leading vaccination programmes in both the UK and US have created the opportunity to safely open up travel between these two low-risk countries whilst protecting public health and we urge the UK government to move the US to the UK’s “green list” and for the Biden administration to repeal the 212F proclamation for UK travellers. There is no reason to delay.

As a result of the dynamic and fast-moving travel environment, we continue to make schedule changes which will affect our Flying Programme for the coming weeks.

• We are reducing frequencies on several routes and to ensure impacted passengers can continue with their travel plans, they will be reprotected to the most suitable alternative departure.
• Where a flight is cancelled, and due to limited operations to these destinations, there will be no reprotection option available, these sectors will appear as UN.

Bookings affected by these changes will be updated in your GDS on Saturday 26 June 2021. Our most up to date flexibility policy can be found here
