Britons boycott 11 September air travel Thousands of Britons are choosing not to fly on the first anniversary of the 11 September terrorist attacks on the United States, it was revealed today. Reluctance to take to the air has resulted in British Airways cancelling 24 of its 78 transatlantic flights on that day. A London to Barbados flight and a Barbados-London service have also been cancelled. The daily London to New York Concorde flight will operate on that day, however, as will four of the normal London-New York subsonic services. "Because bookings are low on several of our US routes we have scrapped some flights," said a BA spokeswoman. " Passengers will be moved to other flights. " It's difficult to know the exact reason for the lack of bookings, but people are choosing not to fly on the anniversary." The BA cancellations include flights from Heathrow to San Francisco, Washington DC, Philadelphia and Miami as well as Gatwick flights to Phoenix and San Diego. The airline has also cancelled a Heathrow to Washington flight on 10 September and a return Washington-Heathrow flight on 12 September
