American Airlines and British Airways offer New York shuttle

New York and London are to be linked with virtually hourly services by oneworld carriers American Airlines and British Airways following EU approval of the airlines’ relationship. 

Previously, of the 11 daily flights to New York, five left Heathrow at almost exactly the same time, leaving gaps of up to three hours between services.  Now flights will depart every hour, on the hour between 13:00 and 20:00 from Heathrow.  There will also be a maximum of only an hour and a half between morning departures with the first outbound (BA) at 08:30 arriving at JFK 11:00 (all times local). 

A mixture of Boeing 747s and Boeing 777s are used for the services. 

American only links Heathrow to Kennedy whilst British Airways flies from both Heathrow and London City to that airport but also from Heathrow to Newark, New York’s New Jersey airport.

The Chicago flights have also been re-organised as have Miami. www.ba.com www.aa.com
