American Airlines is launching a new daily flight between London Heathrow (LHR) and Miami International Airport (MIA) in October 2019. At the same time, British Airways is increasing its flight schedule from London to Philadelphia.
“This will be American’s biggest year yet at Heathrow with an additional flight to Miami and new year-round service to Phoenix,” said Rhett Workman, managing director of London Heathrow for American Airlines. “We’re not only giving customers in the U.K. increased access to the warm winter sun destinations they want, but also working with our partner British Airways to better meet the demand for premium seats in important markets and connecting hubs like Philadelphia.”
To Philadelphia, British Airways will operate three additional flights per week.
On 1 April, American also launched a new daily flight to London Heathrow from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), complementing existing British Airways service.
