New Non-stop from Pittsburgh to London
British Airways announces year round non-stop service.
British Airways has announced exciting news that will benefit locals and incoming visitors alike. Beginning April 2, 2019, a new service between Pittsburgh International Airport and London Heathrow will offer travelers nonstop flights between the two cities. The British Airways services will operate four days a week with one of the newest aircrafts in the airline’s fleet, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.
Simon Brooks, British Airways’ senior vice president for North America, said “British Airways is very excited to be returning to Pittsburgh and offering travelers a nonstop service to London and easy connections to Europe. Both cities have rich histories and bright futures and we look forward to welcoming new customers from Pittsburgh onboard very soon.
Flights will operate on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays departing from London Heathrow at 5:00pm and landing in Pittsburgh at 8:15pm. Flights will then depart Pittsburgh at 10:00pm, arriving in London at 10:35am the following day.
“We are thrilled to have British Airways serving our region nonstop to London once again,” said Christina Cassotis, Pittsburgh International Airport CEO. “Thank you to British Airways for selecting Pittsburgh and recognizing that our region is back. We are looking forward to working together to ensure the flight is a success.”
“The mission of VisitPITTSBURGH is to bring Pittsburgh to the world and the world to Pittsburgh. So, we join our partners in being very excited about this announcement,” said Craig Davis, president and CEO of VisitPITTSBURGH. “We know the flights will help us draw even more international travelers, and strengthen our status as a premier destination.”
Even more, a joint agreement between American, British Airways, Iberia and Finnair allows members of the AAdvantage, Executive Club and Plus programs to earn and redeem points or miles on codeshare flights across the airlines.
