British Airways announced new flight services from India and Saudi Arabia as part of its efforts to boost international connectivity in the run up to the 2025 summer season.
The UK national carrier will commence a new flight service to Jeddah (JED) in November 2024, while expanding its frequency to the Saudi capital Riyadh from London.
The airline said it has also added a third daily flight to Delhi (DEL) for Summer 2025, bringing the total number of flights to India to 63 per week across five destinations.
Besides, customers flying on British Airways-operated flights to Doha (DOH) are now being offered the option to travel in the airline’s First cabin, with one of the twice-daily flights from Heathrow being operated on a Boeing 787-10 aircraft.
The new flight services from India and Saudi Arabia are part of British Airway’s move to boost connectivity ahead of commencing a record number of flights from London to the US, Canada and Mexico in Summer 2025.
The network expansion will offer more than 400 direct flights per week during its peak weeks, including to 26 US cities from London, British Airways said in a press release.
When arriving in the US, customers can connect onto more than 100 US destinations with British Airways’ partner airlines, the airline said.
Its increased summer schedule includes the additions from London Heathrow such as seven flights per week to Miami, Florida, bringing the total to 14 flights per week and becoming a twice-daily service year-round, addition of an extra six flights per week to Austin, Texas, bringing the total to 13 services per week and launching extra three flights per week to Las Vegas, Nevada, during peak months of the season, bringing the weekly total to 10.
The UK national carrier will also increase its flights to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PIT), from six to seven flights per week, becoming a daily service for the first time since the route was introduced, besides increasing frequency to Washington DC by seven flights per week, bringing the total to 21 flights per week, and increasing up to seven flights per week to Vancouver, Canada, bringing the total to up to 14 flights per week during peak summer.
Coupled with the airline’s daily flight from London Gatwick, customers can choose from three flights per day from June to September
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, said: “The US remains a priority market for us, and we know these network changes will be welcomed by both our business and leisure customers”.
