Due to supply chain problems with the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines that power its fleet of Boeing 787 aircraft, British Airways is canceling flights between London and Abu Dhabi.
Between March 30 and October 25, 2025, the 3,426-mile (2,977-nm) route between London Heathrow Airport and Abu Dhabi’s Zayed International Airport will be suspended.
Currently, the carrier uses 787-9s to serve the destinations every day. Following a four-year suspension due to the pandemic, British Airways only started operating the route again in April 2024.
Due to ongoing delays in the delivery of engines and parts from Rolls-Royce, especially for the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines installed in our 787 aircraft, British Airways was forced to make additional schedule adjustments.
Officials from the airline claim that they have taken this action because they are unsure if the problem will be resolved promptly. As a result, they wish to give their customers the assurance they are entitled to regarding their vacation arrangements.
Due to the Trent 1000 problems, the airline has already had to make a number of network adjustments, including discontinuing daily service from London Heathrow to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport in the summer of 2025 and ceasing operations to Kuwait International Airport.

In addition, the Air Li will discontinue its second daily flight from London Heathrow to Miami, which was announced in September. In the summer of 2025, the airline will continue to operate two flights per day between London Heathrow and New Delhi instead of three.
In addition, British Airways has canceled flights between London Gatwick Airport and New York John F. Kennedy International Airport from December 12 to March 25, delayed the start of a new service to Kuala Lumpur, and reduced capacity to Doha, Qatar.
