British Airways has suspended until further notice its flights to Saudi Arabia
due to heightened security concerns in the region.
This decision follows discussions earlier today between the airline and the
British government's Department for Transport.
Geoff Want, the airline’s director of safety and security, said, “As a matter of
precaution we have decided to suspend all flights to Saudi Arabia for the time
being and we will continue to liaise closely with the British government.”
Both
the US and the UK have today reissued travel advisories warning against
travel to Saudi Arabia. The
airline has not stated how long they expect the suspension to last. |
