British Airways is set to expand its services from Austin, introducing a second flight six days a week as part of its joint venture with American Airlines. This move will increase the total number of weekly flights between Austin and London to thirteen.
Austin has seen significant growth in air service, outpacing demand in recent years. During the pandemic, American Airlines expanded its regional jet services significantly, although much of this expansion has since been scaled back. British Airways' decision to introduce an additional flight comes after Virgin Atlantic ceased operations on the Austin-London route earlier this year.
The new British Airways schedule includes flight BA187 departing London Heathrow at 4:05 PM and arriving in Austin at 8:20 PM. The return flight, BA186, departs Austin at 10:15 PM and arrives in London Heathrow at 1:40 PM the following day.
