BA to increase US flights from Heathrow
British Airways will increase flights from Heathrow to New York JFK, Seattle, and Washington from March 30.
The increases follow the EU-US ‘Open Skies’ aviation treaty which comes in to effect that month.
Heathrow to JFK will go up from 51 to 55 flights per week, to Seattle from 10 to 13 flights per week, and to Washington from 21 to 24 flights per week.
BA will also increase flights from Gatwick to Orlando from seven to 10 flights per week.
The airline’s daily flight to Dallas Fort Worth and double daily flights to Houston will move from Gatwick to Heathrow airport on the same date.
But flights from Heathrow and Detroit will be suspended.
Flights to Algiers that currently operate from Gatwick will move to Heathrow “to ensure that the airline’s oil and gas destinations in North Africa and the US are still linked through the same airport”.
Warsaw flights will move from Heathrow to Gatwick.
In addition, BA will launch daily Gatwick to Genoa flights on April 4.
From October 28, direct services to Zimbabwe’s capital Harare will be suspended, not for political but for commercial reasons.
Insteasd passengers will be routed via Johannesburg and can then fly on to Harare with BA’s franchise partner Comair.
