British Airways has decided to continue its flight services from London to Bahrain, reversing a previous plan to temporarily cancel the route. The decision was influenced by discussions with partners and stakeholders, according to the airline. A spokesperson for British Airways stated that flights will operate three times a week starting in the summer of 2025, increasing to daily service in the winter of the same year.

Current data from aviation analytics company Cirium indicates that there are no scheduled itineraries between London Heathrow Airport and Bahrain International Airport for British Airways at present. However, an update reflecting the airline's revised plans is expected soon.

In addition to British Airways, Gulf Air operates 28 weekly flights between London and Bahrain using Boeing 787-9 aircraft. Both airlines utilize Boeing 787s equipped with Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines. British Airways has faced challenges due to supply issues with these engines, affecting their network adjustments for 2025. This includes temporary suspensions of some routes in the United States.

Despite these difficulties, British Airways plans to increase its widebody aircraft operations modestly in early 2025. From January through October, they expect an average increase of 17.8 additional weekly flights year-on-year with widebodies.

The supply chain problems extend beyond British Airways; other airlines like Virgin Atlantic also face reductions in their flight schedules due to similar engine-related issues. While some operators such as Avianca and Singapore Airlines are expected to expand their operations, others including Air New Zealand and LATAM Airlines anticipate significant cutbacks.

To mitigate these challenges, several airlines have chosen GE Aerospace GEnx engines over Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 for future Boeing 787 orders.
