British Airways (BA) will suspend its current four flights a week between London's Heathrow Airport and the Ugandan city of Entebbe in early October, according to a BA official, who attributed the move to financial considerations.
Responding by email to questions from Anadolu Agency, Stephen Forbes, head of BA's international media team for Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and Africa, said the last flight would depart Entebbe on October 3.
"We are continually reviewing our flight schedules and have decided that, at this time, the route is not commercially viable," Forbes said.
Recent BA flights between London and Entebbe – which have been in service since 1991 – have reportedly been flying at only 20-percent capacity. - Uganda
