British Airways suspends travel to Hong Kong
British Airways has suspended flights to Hong Kong amid reports more of its crew members have been forced to quarantine in a government centre
British Airways has confirmed it has temporarily suspended flights with the airline stating they will “review operational requirements for this route”.
The South China Morning Post reported that one British Airways worker had tested positive for Covid-19, leading to most other crew members being sent to the government operated quarantine camp.
It follows a similar incident which took place the week before.
In that case, a BA crew member tested positive for the virus on 20 November. The employee and other crew, classed as “close contact”, were sent to Hong Kong’s Penny’s Bay quarantine centre.
A spokesman for Hong Kong’s Department of Health told the South China Morning Post that those crew members had since returned to the United Kingdom.
It comes amid concern over the new COVID-19 strain, Omicron – cases of which have been discovered in a number of places including Britain and Hong Kong.
British Airways stated that they are continuing to support crew who are currently isolating in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is pursuing a zero-Covid cases policy in order to open the border with mainland China.

Trump claims Iran’s military largely neutralized; tensions rise with attacks threatening air travel and oil shipping.
President Trump says Iran’s military capability has been largely neutralised, including its navy and air force, as the conflict in the Middle East intensifies. Iranian attacks have threatened commercial air travel and oil shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, raising fears of wider economic fallout.
The U.S. Embassy in Riyadh has faced two attacks, while Gulf states worked to intercept further Iranian strikes. Officials report six U.S. troops killed and more than 700 deaths inside Iran as the exchange of fire escalates.
With global markets watching closely, the region remains on edge as military and diplomatic tensions show no signs of easing.
