British Airways (BA) has announced it is scrapping flights between London and Beijing.
The carrier said it was "pausing" its service from the end of October until at least November next year.
Flights to Shanghai and Hong Kong will continue, BA added.
It comes amid weaker demand and a ban on UK flights over Russian airspace, which has resulted in longer journey times on some routes.
Russia's civil aviation authority introduced the restrictions in February 2022, in retaliation to a British ban on the country's Aeroflot airline as part of sanctions related to the war in Ukraine.
According to spokesperson for the airline, the company will be pausing its route to Beijing from 26 October 2024, and will be contacting any affected customers with rebooking options or to offer them a full refund.
"We continue to operate daily flights to Shanghai and Hong Kong".- the spokesperson said.
