LONDON\u2014<\/strong> British Airways (BA)<\/a> is set to launch a double daily service between London Heathrow (LHR) and Bengaluru (BLR) from June 1, marking the first time the airline has exceeded a single daily frequency on this route. The move positions BA more competitively against Gulf carriers as it expands its India network to a record nine daily flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virgin Atlantic (VS) has also scaled up on the LHR-BLR route, operating up to 13 weekly departures this year, intensifying competition and driving BA to strengthen its own offering on one of the fastest-growing India-UK city pairs, Simple Flying<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

British Airways Doubles Flights to Bengaluru<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BA has operated nonstop flights between London Heathrow (LHR) and Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) since 2005, making it the first airline to connect the two cities nonstop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kingfisher Airlines (IT) briefly operated the route in 2008-2009, followed by Air India (AI) from 2018, and Virgin Atlantic (VS)<\/a> joining in 2024. Until now, BA had never surpassed a single daily service on this route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From June 1, two daily departures will operate in each direction using the Boeing 787-8, configured with 204 seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
