British Airways is gearing up to bolster its U.S. network next year. The airline plans to add another destination to its route map.
Starting in April 2026, the airline will serve St. Louis, Missouri. Flights are slated to begin on April 19, according to Ishrion Aviation.
Flights are also available for sale on the airline’s website.
The British flag carrier’s new U.S. route will operate four times per week on a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner.
Outbound flights are slated to depart London Heathrow at 4:25 p.m., arriving in St. Louis at 7:30 p.m. Return flights depart St. Louis at 10:00 p.m., before arriving in London at 12:05 p.m. the following day.
St. Louis will be British Airways’ 27th U.S. destination and 30th in North America.
Circa-TWA Route
While British Airways has never flown to St. Louis, the city had non-stop flights to London until 2003, per U.S. Department of Transportation data.
Back when the now-defunct airline had a hub in St. Louis, TWA operated regular flights to London Gatwick. The carrier operated a mix of Boeing 747 and 767 aircraft on this route.
After acquiring TWA in 2001, American Airlines continued to serve St. Louis and London Gatwick with 767-300 aircraft. This route eventually ended in 2003.
British Airways’ new route to St. Louis won’t be the city’s only trans-Atlantic flight. Lufthansa also serves the city from its Frankfurt hub.
