London: British Airways will resume daily flights to Abu Dhabi in 2024 after a four-year break. The route, available for booking, will start operating on April 20, 2024, offering year-round service from London Heathrow to the UAE’s capital.

The flights will be serviced by a Boeing 787-9 aircraft during the summer of 2024 and will enhance connectivity to the UAE alongside existing flights to Dubai.

“Abu Dhabi is a unique destination that is making a very welcome return to our network,” said Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Director of Network and Alliances. “With a blend of beach, city and desert, it has everything our customers are looking for in a Middle Eastern trip, and we look forward to welcoming them back on board as we grow our footprint in the UAE.”
