British Airways launches flights to Puerto Rico for the first time today following its first direct service to Buenos Aires on Sunday.
The new services came as a host of new routes and increased frequencies marked the start of summer flying schedules. BA now flies daily from Heathrow to Buenos Aires – a city it previously served via Sao Paulo – with the Brazilian city also enjoying its own daily service.
The carrier shrugged off concern about the level of Air Passenger Duty on fares to the Caribbean to increase the frequency of flights to the region as well as adding a twice-a-week Gatwick service to San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Mondays and Fridays.
The San Juan flight is operating via Antigua, with BA increasing its operation to the latter from five to six services a week. The airline has also increased services from Gatwick to Barbados from 10 to 12 a week, added a third weekly flight to Cancun, and increased services to Tampa from Gatwick to seven a week – up from five.
