British Airways To Set A New Record Next Summer

UK’s national carrier, British Airways, has announced plans to operate a record number of flights from London to the USA, Canada and Mexico during the peak summer period next year. This move will further solidify its claim of offering more flights across the Atlantic Ocean than any other European airline. In short, the airline will operate over 400 direct flights weekly to the USA, Canada and Mexico during peak weeks.

Starting with Miami, Florida, British Airways will operate an additional seven weekly flights, doubling the total weekly services count and becoming a twice-daily route throughout the year. The airline will also inaugurate a new lounge in Miami next year. An increase of seven flights per week is planned for Washington, DC. Once implemented, the airline will have 21 weekly flights between the two capitals.
