The new service will join the carrier’s existing year-round flights from London City to Florence, as well as the airline’s existing seasonal flights to the city from Edinburgh.
Aeroitalia recently launched flights between London Heathrow and Florence, while Vueling flies to the City of Lillies from Gatwick.
Commenting on the news Neil Chernoff, director of networks and alliances at British Airways, said:
“We know our customers love visiting Tuscany, which is why we already operate flights from London City to Florence. We’ve added this new route from London Heathrow to the Tuscan capital to offer them even more choice to explore this incredible Italian region.
“Not only is this good news for UK travellers, but also for those connecting in London to and from US destinations. The flights’ timings have been optimised for connectivity to popular routes, including New York, Boston and Chicago.”
