Heathrow Airport to Istanbul service expanded

British Airways (BA) is to introduce a third daily flight to Istanbul from Heathrow Airport.

The airline currently flies twice a day to the Turkish city, which is growing in popularity as a tourist destination, but will add the extra flight from October 25th 2009.

It forms part of an overhaul of BA services from Heathrow Airport, which will also see the number of flights to Warsaw and Rome rise to three and six a day respectively.

The flag carrier also plans to fly to Barcelona seven times a day and to Prague four times a day.

However, it has also announced cuts to its services from Heathrow to Brussels, Paris, Nice, Berlin and Edinburgh Airport.

BA's range of services from the capital will broaden on September 29th 2009 when the first flight on the new London City Airport to New York JFK route takes off.

The twice-daily service will be the first long-haul route to operate from London City.
