British Airways has unveiled plans to launch a
new daily flight between London Heathrow (LHR) and Florence (FLR), Italy.
BA will commence the service on 16 April 2023, operating the
flight from London Heathrow’s Terminal 5 with
A320neo aircraft.
Flight BA525 is scheduled to leave LHR at 07:50,
arriving at FLR at 11:00. The return leg, BA524 is timed to depart
from FLR at 11:50 and land at LHR at 13:05.
Florence will be one of 11 Italian cities served
by British Airways from London Heathrow in Summer 2023, including
Rome, Milan, Venice and Naples.
“We know our customers love visiting
Tuscany, which is why we already operate flights from London City
to Florence. We’ve added this new route from London Heathrow to
the Tuscan capital to offer them even more choice to explore this
incredible Italian region,” said Neil Chernoff, Director of
Networks and Alliances at British Airways. “Not only is this good news for UK travellers, but
also for those connecting in London to and from US destinations.
The flights’ timings have been optimised for connectivity to
popular routes, including New York, Boston and Chicago.”
The London Heathrow – Florence flight joins a
host of new routes starting in the Summer 2023 season, such as
London Gatwick to Aruba and Guyana, and London Heathrow to
Cincinnati, Ohio.
