British Airways to Launch Flights Between London Heathrow and Portland, USA

British Airways has confirmed plans to expand services to the U.S. with five direct flights per week between London Heathrow and Portland scheduled to commence on 1 June 2020.

The new route will take the number of US destinations the airline flies to from London up to 27, and the number of daily flights offered by British Airways and American Airlines as part of their transatlantic joint business up to 86 per day.

The Boeing 787 Dreamliner flights to Portland will depart on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Director of Networks and Alliances, said, “Portland will be a fantastic addition to our route map. As a major technology and innovation hub the city is drawing ever-increasing numbers of international visitors. Since 2015 we’ve launched routes to Pittsburgh, Charleston, Nashville, New Orleans and San Jose, and this is key to our joint business strategy which is growing across North America. We’re confident the route will be warmly welcomed by both business and leisure travellers.”

British Airways has launched 16 new routes across the globe so far this year, including direct flights to Pittsburgh and Charleston in the USA.
