LONDON\u2014<\/strong> British Airways (BA)<\/a> will move its long-running Tampa service from London Gatwick Airport (LGW) to London Heathrow Airport (LHR) starting October 25, 2026.

British Airways Switches Tampa Flight to Heathrow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

British Airways has served Tampa International Airport (TPA) since 1985, making it one of the airport\u2019s longest-running transatlantic routes. For most of its history, the service has operated from London Gatwick Airport (LGW)<\/a>, which primarily handles leisure-focused flights for the airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginning October 25, 2026, British Airways (BA) will relocate the service to London Heathrow Airport (LHR), the airline\u2019s main global hub. The move allows passengers to connect more easily to the carrier\u2019s extensive international network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the new schedule, the airline will operate five weekly flights between Heathrow and Tampa using a Boeing 787-10 aircraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
