British Airways is doubling its flights to Rio de Janeiro from three to six flights a week due to a rise in demand.
Neil Cottrell, head of network planning, said: “Brazil is also experiencing strong economic growth and this capacity increase is a great opportunity for British Airways to be part of that growth.”
Flights will now depart Heathrow for Rio every day, except Mondays. The departure time remains at 12.15pm, landing in Rio at 9.55pm local time.
