BRITISH Airways will resume services to Kuwait today following the suspension of flights last month.

BA will operate three times a week from London to Kuwait via Cyprus, rather daily and direct.

Flights between London and Kuwait were suspended on March 19 after the Foreign Office advised against all travel to Kuwait.

BA's customer service and operations director said: "We will only fly to a destination if we are satisfied totally it is safe."

Over Easter, BA said it was in talks with the Government about resuming services to Baghdad. The airline's London-Iraq service was suspended in 1990.
