On Thursday (October 19, 2023), British Airways announced that they will resume service between London Heathrow (LHR) and Abu Dhabi (AUH) after a four-year hiatus.

In today’s announcement, British Airways’ Director of Network and Alliances, Neil Chernoff, said,

Also commenting on the resumed LHR-AUH service, Abu Dhabi Airports’ Chief Commercial Officer, Maureen Bannerman, added,
“We’re delighted to welcome British Airways back to Abu Dhabi International Airport, adding to the growing list of leading carriers set to use Terminal A as their operational base in Abu Dhabi.
