British Airways was due to operate 70 flights today, the first since the lifting of restrictions on foreign travel. BA’s 07.10 departure from Heathrow to Gibraltar was among the first flights of the day to green list countries. 

BA said it would operate a flight to Lisbon, three to Faro and one to Funchal, but had suspended services to Tel Aviv. It said it would normally operate “hundreds” of departures on a similar day.
