British Airways (BA/BAW) — full-service carrier from United Kingdom, based at London Heathrow (LHR), member of Oneworld. Not in current Beijing Daxing schedules.Does British Airways fly to Beijing Daxing?
No. British Airways does not currently operate scheduled passenger flights at Beijing Daxing International Airport, although it still appears in the airport's published carrier table.
British Airways moved its London–Beijing service from Beijing Capital to Daxing when the airport opened in 2019, and suspended the route entirely from 26 October 2024, citing the closure of Russian airspace and weak demand. A restart floated for late 2025 did not happen.
How this was checked: The current non-stop schedule between PKX and London Heathrow shows China Southern only.
What to fly from PKX instead
- China Southern flies PKX–London Heathrow non-stop.
- British Airways still serves Hong Kong, from where several carriers connect to Beijing.
Airlines add and drop routes every season, so this can change. The live arrivals and departures boards are the authority on what is flying today, and the full airline list shows who serves PKX now.
About British Airways
British Airways is the flag carrier of the United Kingdom and a founding member of Oneworld, flying from London Heathrow and Gatwick to destinations across every continent.
Its Beijing history runs from the 1980s through to 2024. The switch to Daxing in 2019 made it one of the first Western European carriers at the new airport, alongside Finnair and LOT.
Worth knowing
- Russian airspace closure adds hours to Europe–Beijing flying for Western carriers, which is what makes these routes uneconomic.
- Chinese carriers can overfly Russia, so their non-stop times on the same city pairs are considerably shorter.
