British Airways is to launch two new routes from London Heathrow to Reykjavik and Salzburg for the winter 2015/16 schedule.
The airline will start flying three times per week from Heathrow to Reykjavik in Iceland from October 25, 2015, and twice a week from Heathrow to Salzburg from December 2015.
The Heathrow-Reykjavik flights will operate on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, while Heathrow-Salzburg services will run on Saturday and Sunday.
Lynne Embleton, BA’s director of strategy and business units, said: “Reykjavik is a new destination for us, and customers will now have the convenience of flying from Heathrow as well as Gatwick to Salzburg.”
