Ohio City Becomes British Airways' 27th Destination in America

Dark/Light Mode (08/06/23)  British Airways has launched flights between London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), the airline's 27th destination in the United States of America.

The central Cincinnati metropolitan area, straddling the Ohio River, is spread across southwestern Ohio, northern Kentucky and extends into portions of southeastern Indiana. This unique positioning introduces British Airways’ to a new region of the United States, home to more than 11 million people within a 120-mile radius of Cincinnati’s airport.

 “We are thrilled this day has come when CVG has non-stop service to and from London Heathrow,” said Candace McGraw, Chief Executive Officer, CVG Airport. “This flight offers tremendous growth opportunities for business travel, economic development, and tourism between the UK and our region. We are grateful to our partners in Ohio and Kentucky who have supported this flight that will benefit travellers for years to come. I offer a personal thanks to our new friends at British Airways for this opportunity.”

BA will operate the LHR - CVG service with five flights per week during the current summer flying season, reducing to four flights per week during the winter flying season.

The all-new new non-stop flights will be flown by various aircraft in the British Airway fleet including Boeing 777 and Boeing 787, each configured with three distinct cabins – Club World (business), World Traveller Plus (premium economy) and World Traveller (economy).

“When we look at the Cincinnati region we see a vibrant part of the U.S. with a great mix of business and leisure travellers who have long asked for more international service and global connectivity, which is what made it so attractive to us and why we’re confident this new route will be a success,” said Neil Chernoff, British Airways Director of Networks and Alliances. “Our incredibly positive and welcoming conversations with the airport team, the business development community and tourism partners – combined with all the region has to offer visitors from outside the U.S. – were a clear sign that Cincinnati was the right place to expand our flying in America.”

British Airways offers convenient connections onward from its home at London Heathrow’s Terminal 5 to nearly 200 destinations in 65 countries around the world, including routes with partner airlines.
