British Airways routes start

Yesterday (Sunday 9 December) British Airways introduced new Heathrow services to Leeds Bradford, Rotterdam and Zagreb from Heathrow Terminal 1 (see below). 

The Leeds Bradford flights are four times daily.  Mark Goldstone from Leeds Chamber of Commerce said: "This is a real issue for Leeds city region as we have dozens of members that trade with or aspire to do business with the likes of Brazil, India and China.  To support trade and the city region's economy, it is vital for our firms to be able to make connections to these emerging markets".

Brian Dunsby of Harrogate Chamber of Trade & Commerce said: "We have been lobbying for a restoration of the scheduled service between Leeds Bradford and Heathrow ever since bmi withdrew the service in 2009”.

Rotterdam, the largest port in Europe, has three daily flights, whilst for Zagreb, capital of Croatia, the Heathrow link is a major step forward as it puts the War of Independence (from Yugoslavia – as was) behind it. www.ba.com
