British Airways adding third daily flight to Newark
British Airways is launching a new, daytime flight from Newark Liberty International Airport to London Heathrow its third daily flight on the route.
The extra service will help support the return of business travel in 2022.
The additional flight, which launches on 6 June, will depart at 7.55am from Newark and return from Heathrow at 7.10pm, allowing travellers to spend the entire day in London before flying to Newark.
The airline is also resuming its ‘daylight’ service from JFK in March, which is particularly valued by business travellers.
With this new frequency, British Airways along with its joint business partner American Airlines will offer the most extensive network from the New York area to London with 15 daily departures this summer, including 11 daily flights from JFK to Heathrow and 1 daily flight from JFK to Gatwick.
From April 2022, all flights to JFK and EWR from Heathrow on BA and AA will depart out of BA’s Terminal 5, and by next year, all British Airways flights in JFK will depart from AA’s home in Terminal 8.
The flight will operate daily on a Boeing 777-200.
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Director of Networks and Alliances said: "We are pleased to be launching our third daily flight from Newark, to further strengthen our New York – London schedule. The convenient morning departure is popular with customers who might prefer having an extra night in New York or arriving in London in the evening."
