LONDON-<\/strong> British Airways (BA)<\/a> will expand its long-haul network with six new routes between July 2026 and January 2027, spreading fresh services across London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and London Gatwick Airport (LGW). The oneworld carrier plans an average of 94 daily long-haul departures from the two London airports across the July 2026 to March 2027 period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That schedule marks a 5% increase over the same months a year earlier, a notable rise for a mature airline that contends with severe slot shortages at Heathrow. By reworking its network and adjusting frequencies, BA has managed to grow long-haul flying from LHR by 6% despite those constraints, Simple Flying<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

British Airways Six Fresh Long-Haul Additions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two of them simply move between London airports rather than opening entirely new city links: the San Jos\u00e9 and Tampa services shift from Gatwick to Heathrow. Nothing changes at the city level, but both become brand-new to BA’s network at the airport level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full list of additions is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
