British Airways is launching its shortest flight to date: a 54-mile, 50-minute flight from Bahrain International Airport to Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The return flight will be even quicker, with only 40 minutes spent in the air.
The brief flight succeeds the airline's current shortest trip: a 62-mile hop between the Caribbean islands of Antigua and Saint Kitts.
The 54-mile flight will not operate as an individual journey, however: Only passengers traveling to or from London will have access to the Bahrain-Dammam route. "It's difficult to see any justification for new short-haul routes like this, where cleaner travel alternatives -- whether by road, rail or ferry -- would be less environmentally harmful," MacKenzie said.
