British Airways is said to have reversed its decision to move Accra – London route from Heathrow to Gatwick.

According to Aviation Ghana, the decision comes on the back of lots of negotiations between the government and officials of British Airways.

British Airways had planned to commence the Accra – London route to Gatwick from this month.

But this decision means passengers on the Accra – London route will now land at their original destination that is Heathrow.
