British Airways to resume nonstop service between BWI and London
Listen to this articleBritish Airways is set to resume nonstop service between Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and London Heathrow on Friday, Nov. 19, the airport announced.
The transatlantic service was suspended in March 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“The return of this premier international service from British Airways is great news for our travelers,” said Ricky Smith, executive director of BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. “This route will benefit our business and leisure passengers, and help support our continued recovery.”
The airline will initially restart its BWI Marshall service three days per week, on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. British Airways will add a fourth weekly flight starting in December, to operate on Thursdays.
While passenger traffic is below 2019 levels, the airport has seen a steady resumption of air traffic. BWI Marshall officials said the airport’s departing passenger traffic in October was up 105% from October 2020. About 95% of airport food and retail concessions are now open.
Federal regulations require masks in the airport terminal and on commercial flights.
