British Airways (BA) has increased the list of flights to China from UK by becoming the last to fly back and forth between London and Beijing.
After having served Beijing since November 1980, the airline was forced to temporarily suspend flights between capitals because of the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After a three-year pause, Flight BA88 returned to the schedule on June 3, 2023, at the new Beijing Airport in Daxing.
On 23 April, British Airways resumed flights to the mainland for the first time since 2020 in Shanghai-Pu Dong (PVG) and announced that Beijing flights would resume on 3 June.
