BA ups Irish Heathrow flights

British Airways is to double its number of flights between Dublin and London Heathrow this winter from four to eight a day.

It will also increase the number of flights from Belfast to Heathrow from seven a day to eight. The airline said it had no plans to expand their operations to Cork or Shannon.

Simon Daly, BA sales manager for Ireland, said that including the code share agreement between Aer Lingus and BA there would be 20 flights a day between Dublin and Heathrow.
