British Airways is to start flights from London’s Heathrow to the Indian city of Hyderabad from October 27 this year.
Hyderabad becomes the airline’s sixth Indian destination joining Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai on its route network. There will be five flights each week on a Boeing 777 aircraft.
Robert Boyle, British Airways’ commercial director, said India is the airline’s largest market outside North America and, with the Hyderabad route, it would fly there 48 times each week. This is up from 19 flights per week when the UK/India aviation market was liberalised in October 2005, he said.
“Hyderabad has a fast growing economy based on IT, business process outsourcing and biotech industries and we believe that there will be a strong business demand for our flights which will be the only direct services between the city and the UK.”
