At what point is BA going to decide it's better off indefinitely suspending this route (as per Virgin Atlantic's recent move)? There's not any sign of stability in the region, so airlines will need to constantly manage the risk. These ongoing route suspensions must cost BA both financially and in terms of the operational impact of dealing with rebookings. Plus it seems from the comments on this thread not many people want to fly in a short-haul configuration. When will BA decide the risk and operational issues aren't worth it and they would be better off using that capacity on other more stable routes? I guess there might be some political pressure to retain flights from a British airline, but I would think that BA should be focused on commercial viability above all else.
