Lost and/or Still to be reinstated BA routes post Covid
Is there a list of routes that BA have not returned following Covid. For example LGW-EDI

In the Middle East: LHR-DMM (operated via BAH, which has returned, but not a daily service anymore), LHR-AUH, LHR-MCT, LHR-BEY, LHR-JED. Also LHR-ICN, LHR-BKK and LHR-KUL in Asia. It seems that BA is relying more on QR for Middle East/East Asia traffic nowadays.

Hopefully we see the remaining short/mid haul Gatwick routes come back as Euroflyer expands. Perhaps some of the Heathrow routes could be transferred to Gatwick

These went before That Virus but I still miss them.

LHR-BGO
LHR-SVG

Both locations are doing well now, thanks in part to the appalling behaviour of their northern neighbour, so hopefully they will make a return.

Good memories of a painless b2b at SVG on a Viking fare!

Fully agree with this. Bergen has now become even more popular with tourists, with Jet2, SAS and Wideroe all adding new routes from the UK.

A 3x per week summer seasonal service would be better than nothing.

I had LHR-BIO booked before the pandemic and had to switch to the Vueling flight afterwards. Not ideal, but a little more comfortable by booking an extra seat...

Although havent Widere pulled out of LHR in favour of returning to STN? I flew with them from BGO into LHR last year and almost everyone on the plane was connecting, primarily to the USA, so I was quite surprised to hear theyre revering to STN where there are no connections.

Wideroe had the BGO route out of LHR - flew it last year - but it seems to have gone too. Shame.
