British Airways Cancels Flight to D.C.
Posted on: Thursday, 1 January 2004, 06:00 CST
British Airways canceled one of its three daily flights from London to Washington on Thursday following security advice from the government, a spokesman for the airline said.
A Department of Transport spokeswoman said she was unable to comment on matters of security or whether the cancellation was a result of a specific threat.
The same flight, BA 223, on Wednesday was kept on the tarmac at Washington Dulles International Airport for several hours shortly after landing. U.S. authorities questioned all passengers and crew on board, the spokesman said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The spokesman said alternative arrangements had been made for the 180 passengers on Thursday's flight, which had been scheduled to leave London's Heathrow airport at 10:05 a.m.
He added that neither of the two other daily flights to Washington had been canceled.
