British Airways is to end four routes. Three of them are from London Heathrow: Cologne, Riga, and Stuttgart. The other is London City-Frankfurt, which is served by its BA CityFlyer Unit. All four links are no longer bookable after the end of March, when BA, like other northern carriers, switches to summer schedules. Sean Moulton on X was the first to notice the changes.

All airlines end routes, and BA is no exception. For space reasons, let's only focus on Heathrow. In 2024, it ceased flying from the UK's busiest airport to Belgrade, Beijing Daxing, Funchal, Islamabad, Kos, Pula, and Turin. In 2025, these markets were axed: Bilbao, Grenoble, Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen, Izmir, and Kuwait. 
 Half of the routes only resumed in 2023, having previously been flown years before. BA clearly does not think it is worth continuing with them relative to what else it could do with the equipment and the slots. It is currently unknown how it will use them. Heathrow-St. Louis service begins next year, but the times don't really tally with the routes being removed.

Like Riga flights, Cologne service returned in 2023. As the city is located close to Düsseldorf, BA will simply consolidate there. It serves Heathrow-Düsseldorf 33 times a week in mid-November. Unlike Cologne, which BA only serves half as much as Eurowings, it is the dominant carrier to Düsseldorf. That German airport has higher fares from Heathrow than Cologne, but also higher charges. BA CityFlyer ended City-Düsseldorf flights in 2024.
