CDG (BA315) is now marked as EUCN OPEN ... full cancellation should follow in a few days.
I predict that they'll cancel and rebook on the AA codeshare only to figure out a couple days later that the underlying BA flight is gone.

If your flight isn't zeroed out, it might indeed operate. GVA is a business heavy route so there would be essential travellers that could fill a plane on that route.

Thanks for the heads-up. Out of interest, what database are you using to see the cancellations? According to BA’s website, the flights are still available for sale (though I don’t always trust the website).

I have double-checked and GVA is not zeroed out. Here is the screenshot from Expertflyer for an operating date that has availability and multiple flights.
I am sorry that brunos was wrong about GVA, though correct about FRA & CDG; so your flight might indeed operate as GVA is not one of the routes that were zeroed-out.

When I checked (with UK point of sale) on 7 March, all GVA flights were zeroed out and not for sale on BA website.
Today, they have fully disappeared from EF (usually means cancelled), and still not for sale.
Maybe I was right after all.
