BRITISH Airways’ flights to India have been axed as cabin crew didn’t show up due to fear of encountering coronavirus.
As the number of cases rises in India, British Airways cabin crew are scared that they will catch Covid if they continue to fly.
The airline's bosses have had to write a letter to staff to get the crew back on board.
India is currently ravaged with infections and has claimed more than 270,000 lives amid almost 2.7 million cases.
A letter to frontline staff from executives read: 'If you do not feel comfortable operating these flights then please complete a form and you will be removed.'
