British Airways in the summer of 2008 will expand its flight services
between London's HeathrowAirport and various U.S. cities, though the carrier is temporarily
suspending routes between Heathrow and Detroit,
with the aircraft being used on other more lucrative routes. The airline
currently operates daily service between Detroit
and Harare.
Increased frequencies in March 2008-when the "Open Skies" agreement
between the U.S. and the European Union goes into effect, lifting air travel
restrictions—include services between Heathrow and New York's John F. Kennedy
International Airport, which will see an increase of 51 to 55 flights per week;
Seattle going up from 10 to 13 flights per week and Washington, D.C., which
will increase from 21 to 24 flights per week. In addition, services between
Gatwick and Orlando, FL will increase from seven to 10 flights
per week. At that time, British Airway's daily flight from Dallas Fort Worth
and double daily flights to Houston
also will move from Gatwick to Heathrow. Visit [www.britishairways.com].
