BA have confirmed there will be fewer flights between Inverness and Heathrow over the summer.
The airline say the move has been taken to help "provide certainty for customers" as the entire industry has faced a challenging few weeks.
Passengers can currently fly from Inverness to the UK capital in the morning and return in the same day, but BA have now announced changes to the schedule.
Hopes flight changes are a "temporary adjustment"
A BA spokesperson said: "The past few weeks have been challenging for the entire industry and at British Airways we're completely focused on three priorities: our customers, supporting the biggest recruitment drive in our history and increasing our operational resilience.
"We've taken action to reduce our schedule to help provide certainty for our customers and are giving them maximum flexibility to either rebook with us or another airline as close to their original departure time as possible, or to receive a full refund."
Highlands and Islands Airports Ltd (HIAL) who manage the airport say they hope it is a "temporary adjustment."
Inverness airport general manager Graeme Bell, said: "This appears to be a temporary adjustment to the schedule and is an operational decision by BA.
"Although we have been generally pleased that the aviation sector has re-emerged quite strongly from the pandemic there remain challenges for airlines as demand for travel has picked up.
"The Heathrow-Inverness link remains a popular route and we are hopeful BA will reinstate the 7am Heathrow flight as soon as it is feasible to do so."
