BA To Expand US Services

British Airways has announced it is considering extending its services from London City Airport by introducing new routes, to three North American Cities.

Chicago, Washington DC and Boston will be part of the expansion plans after BA CEO announced after finding a recently introduced route from London City airport and Ney York City was very profitable. The popular route was expected to take a full year until it became profitable but this was achieved in just 10 weeks.

Mr Walsh stated if the success of the route continues then additional services would be introduced along with more capacity to the existing New York route.

The news comes as a nice surprise for Willie Walsh whose airline has had to endure countless setbacks this year, posting record losses due to striking cabin crew workers, the recession and the Volcanic ash cloud which grounded all flights during parts of April and March costing the airline industry billions.
