BA and Virgin Atlantic relaunch flights to China

British Airways, which has been running flights to China since 1980, was forced to stop this particular route due to the pandemic. With China being the epicentre of the virus and imposing some of the world’s strictest regulations, the country only last month relaxed restrictions and opened up to international visitors. The airline will be restarting its flights to between Heathrow and Shanghai from April 23 and flights to Beijing will begin on June 3.
