British Airways to Launch LHR Flights to Six New European Destinations in 2020

British Airways will launch flights to six new European routes from London Heathrow in 2020.

For the first time ever, the airline will fly from Heathrow to the Kosovan and Montenegrin capitals, Pristina and Podgorica, with both flights departing on Saturdays from 4 July until 29 August.

A brand-new route to Perugia in Italy, which is located amongst the spectacular mountains and enchanting hill-towns of Umbria will also launch next summer. Flights will depart on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 2 July through to 31 August.

Turkish coastal towns, Dalaman and Bodrum have returned to British Airways’ Heathrow route map, giving customers who want to explore the popular Aegean Coast even more choice. Flights will depart on Saturdays from 23 May through to 24 October. The flights will join a new summer service between London Gatwick and Antalya that takes off from 30 April 2020. Customers will also have the choice of two London airports when flying to Dalaman as the airline already operates a weekly service from Gatwick.

The Greek island of Rhodes, with its blend of sandy beaches, rocky coves and ancient charm offers travellers a pocket of Grecian paradise and will also be added to the airline’s Heathrow network from next summer. The Saturday service will commence on 4 July and run until 29 August.

The airline will also launch a new twice weekly service from Gatwick to the Greek island of Corfu from 1 May until 23 October 2020.

Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Director of Networks and Alliances, said, “We are gearing up for an exciting summer next year as we add more routes to our extensive global network. We’re always developing our leisure offering and are pleased to be adding completely new destinations to British Airways’ Heathrow map. Our commitment to offering flights and holidays to a wide variety of destinations at competitive prices can help people plan ahead for summer 2020.”

The airline has also unveiled plans to increase the frequency of 16 popular short haul routes from Heathrow, including popular holiday destinations such as: Larnaca, Brindisi, Nice, Ibiza, Tenerife, Split, Olbia, Kefalonia and Preveza.
