British Airways will resume A380 services
to the US in December as it adds more transatlantic flights and destinations
following the reopening of the country¡¯s borders.
The airline will reinstate its A380 jumbo jet on flights to
Miami from Heathrow on 5 December, followed by Los Angeles on 9 December. The
plane will also operate the Dallas route from 27 March 2022.
In addition, BA will resume flights from Heathrow to
Nashville and New Orleans in December.
The news comes after the carrier operated its first
transatlantic flight from Gatwick since March 2020 with a service to Tampa,
Florida on 15 November. BA said it will also add flights from Gatwick to
Orlando on 19 November.
BA is set to launch a new subsidiary based at Gatwick called
BA EuroFlyer to operate a short-haul network from March 2022. The airline
suspended the majority of its services from the airport in March 2020 and has
been in negotiations over the subsidiary in an attempt to turn around its ¡®loss-making¡¯
operations.
