Notice: The cut is not permanent, but for selected periods in both 2009 and 2010

As per posting on Airline Route Updates – a highly credible source – today, British Airways will be temporarily cancelling its flagship London – Singapore – Sydney route temporarily from 24 October onwards .
The cuts are in place from
1 NOV 2009 – 25 NOV 2009
28 FEB 2010 – 27 MAR 2010

The route used to be operated by a Boeing 777 aircraft and the cut is the first time BA has ever cut this route in 50 years .
BA however will run a limited daily service from December 2009 to February 2010 with a Boeing 747 . The schedule is as follows

BA 011 LHR 2115 – 1750+1 SIN 744 D
BA 012 SIN 2255 – 0450+1 SYD 744 D

BA will however keep its daily 747 service operated via Bangkok to Sydney. This will see BA’s Sydney service, as well as Singapore service, being reduced from 2 to 1 daily flights for the suspended period.

This news comes after BA’s decision to ground 3 747s and 3 757s.

These details are as per GDS update on 16 July, stay tuned to Airline Industry Review to be the first to know about any changes.
