After more than 15 years without flying to Barbados, British Airways will once again have flights from London Heathrow with a year-round direct daily service to the Caribbean island. The service will launch on October 17.

Announcing the news, minister of tourism and international transport, Lisa Cummins, said: “For more than 15 years, Barbados has been engaging British Airways on the re-establishment of London Heathrow as the gateway to Barbados, following the retirement of its Concorde service. We are thrilled therefore to see this finally come to fruition as it opens the door for us, quite literally, for growth opportunities in cities and continents that were once out of our reach.”

The afternoon departure of the flight from the UK will also offer seamless connections to British Airways’ extensive European network, tapping into the major cities of Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt, Berlin, Madrid, Stockholm and Vienna.

Coinciding with the busy half-term period in the autumn, the new service commencing in October will be operated using British Airways’ four-class Boeing 777-200 aircraft.

The year-round daily service will boost the already daily flights from London Gatwick, which run from October until April 2021.
