British Airways Debuts 2008 Summer Route Network

British Airways’ summer 2008 route network focuses on increased U.S. flights from Heathrow following the European Union-U.S. Open Skies aviation treaty, which comes in to effect in March 2008.

The airline’s daily flight to Dallas Fort Worth and double daily flights to Houston will move from Gatwick to Heathrow airport as of March 30, 2008. In addition, British Airways will increase frequencies from Heathrow to New York JFK, Seattle and Washington, and from Gatwick to Orlando.

In order to accommodate these changes, however, the airline is suspending flights between Heathrow and Detroit as of March 30, 2008.
