British Airways Announces Nonstop Nashville-London Flight

Travelers in Tennessee will soon be able to enjoy nonstop flights to Europe, as British Airways has announced a new service between Nashville International Airport and London Heathrow, beginning in May 2018. The route will operate five days per week, and tickets are available beginning today at ba.com.

BA223 will depart London Heathrow at 3:45 p.m. local time and arrive at Nashville International Airport at 6:50 p.m. CT. BA222 will depart Nashville at 8:20 p.m. and arrive in London at 10:30 a.m. the next day.

“Over the last two years, I have worked closely with Governor Haslam and more than 50 city, state, business, and community leaders to make Nashville International Airport truly live up to its name by bringing a nonstop transatlantic flight between London and Music City,” said Nashville Mayor Megan Barry. “With Nashville as the leading economic engine in the state, this new service will be a difference maker as the city’s momentum continues on all fronts – business development and tourism.”
