BA expands into Dubai
British Airways (BA) has confirmed that a third daily flight will run between London and Dubai later this year.
This development further opens up the emirate to business and leisure travellers, as well as overseas property buyers, in the UK.
The frequency of the Heathrow service will go up from the end of the next month as part of the carrier's winter schedule.
BA has also indicated that it will add more than 300 extra business class seats on the route.
Paul Starrs, commercial manager of BA in the Middle East, commented: "[This] demonstrates the Dubai market's enduring importance to the airline."
He added that he is confident air passengers will find the business class seats enable them to travel in comfort, convenience and privacy.
The announcement comes shortly before the opening of a new terminal at Dubai International Airport.
