British Airways (London) has announced that it will serve two new routes from its London-Heathrow hub for Winter 2015/16, with one route ending a 7-year hiatus to and from Iceland.
The British flag-carrier will begin thrice-weekly services between London (Heathrow) and Keflavik (near Reykjavik) from October 2015, and then a twice-weekly service from London (Heathrow) to Salzburg, Austria beginning in December 2015.
Lynne Embleton, BA’s director of strategy and business units, said: “Reykjavik is a new destination for us, and customers will now have the convenience of flying from Heathrow as well as Gatwick to Salzburg.”
BA will also increase the frequencies on its routes from London (Gatwick) to Funchal, Faro, Seville and Turin for the winter 2015/16 season starting on October 27, 2015 and running to March 25, 2016.
The airline will add two flights from London (Gatwick) to Faro on Tuesdays and Thursdays, two flights to Seville on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, two flights to Funchal, Madeira, on Wednesdays and Fridays, and one extra frequency to Turin on Sundays, which will operate between December 13, 2015, and March 20, 2016.
