Flights have flown from the UK to Bahrain for 92 years and to Kuwait for 63.

Now, just in time for the Bahrain Grand Prix, services to both these countries will be cut from one a day to none.

BA has claimed this is due to delays on receiving engine parts from Rolls-Royce.

A spokesperson for BA told The Sun: "We’re disappointed that we’ve had to make further changes to our schedule as we continue to experience delays to the delivery of engines and parts from Rolls-Royce – particularly concerning the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 engines fitted to our 787 aircraft.

"We’ve taken this action because we do not believe the issue will be solved quickly, and we want to offer our customers the certainty they deserve for their travel plans."

BA apologised to those affected and said they are able to offer the vast majority a flight the same day with British Airways or one of their partner airlines.

They added: "We continue to work closely with Rolls-Royce to ensure the company is aware of the impact its issues are having on our schedule and customers, and seek reassurance of a prompt and reliable solution."

The airline, owned by Anglo-Spanish conglomerate IAG, said the they have been working to ensure our aircraft are available to meet the needs of the flying schedule but it's no longer sustainable.
