British Airways Announced a New Direct Flight to the Cincinnati Region

British Airways and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) announced a new direct route between the Cincinnati region and London Heathrow, and will start flying in 2023.

This will be the sole direct route between the UK and all of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana beginning on June 5, 2023, opening up amazing new prospects for travel and trade on both sides of the channel. The flight will run four times a week in the winter and five times a week in the summer.

London, the nation's capital, is renowned for its deep heritage, double-decker buses, and red phone booths. There are several well-known sites in the city, such as Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Tower Bridge. Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana visitors can visit other English cities or make connections to other regions of Europe and beyond.

Neil Chernoff, Director of Networks and Alliances at British Airways, said: “This is the first time we’ve flown this route, and we can’t wait to connect two cities which both have so much to offer. Not only will this open up these destinations to customers on each side of the Atlantic, but it will also improve connectivity between the Cincinnati region, Europe and beyond, with opportunities to connect to our wider network via London.

““British Airways’ nonstop service from CVG to London-Heathrow is an all-around win for the Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana region,” said Candace McGraw, chief executive officer, CVG. “The United Kingdom, and London specifically, is the largest unserved international destination from our region. Travelers can fly direct to London or access many of the 46 countries and 113 destinations that British Airways flies to outside of the Americas.”

McGraw continues: “The economic impact of this transatlantic flight is exponential for business travel, economic development, and tourism between the UK and our area of the United States. We look forward to a strong partnership with our new friends across the pond for many years to come.”

Customers flying to London can select from three seats on the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner: World Traveler (economy), World Traveler Plus (luxury economy), and Club World (business).

Along with other airlines including American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Japan Airlines, and more, British Airways is a member of the Oneworld Alliance. American Airlines, the second-largest airline at CVG, offers nonstop service to 12 locations.

Customers will be able to purchase even more interesting travel connections on one ticket through the Atlantic Joint Business (AJB) on this new route. The AJB unites the flight network of American Airlines in the USA with those of Aer Lingus, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia, and LEVEL operating in Europe and Israel.

Tickets are now on sale for the route with introductory fares from £550. For more information, visit www.ba.com.
