IT issues force cancellation of 43 British Airways flights
IT issues have forced the cancellation of 43 British Airways flights scheduled to depart and arrive into London's Heathrow airport.
British Airways on Thursday announced flying its Airbus-350 plane soon to Bengaluru from London.
“Bengaluru is the first city in India and fourth destination on our worldwide network to operate the A-350 aircraft,” said the airline in a statement here.
The other three cities where the airline is operating the 275-seater A-350 are Cape Town in South Africa and Phoenix in Arizona state and Las Vegas in Nevada state in the US.

The airline operates daily a mix of Boeing 777 and Boeing 737 for its direct service on the Bengaluru-London route and other West-bound cities from Heathrow airport.
“We plan to operate A-350 on the Bengaluru-London route from winter schedule, which begins at the year-end,” an airline spokesperson told IANS.
As part of the Airbus family of jets, the twin-engine A-350 is flown by many airlines the world over for fuel efficiency, greater comfort and faster flight duration.
With a 300-aircraft fleet, British Airways flies daily to about 200 destinations in 80 countries.
