British Airways on Sunday officially added a new route to the U.S. Midwest.
The carrier operated its inaugural flight between London Heathrow and St. Louis, touching down at Lambert Field on Sunday evening. British Airways will fly the route four times per week, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, during the summer season.
The airline said it is using a Boeing 787 Dreamliner for the transatlantic connection.
St. Louis is the 27th U.S. destination in British Airways’ network. The carrier is now the only one in the world offering nonstop flights between the U.K. and Missouri’s second-largest city.
The airline also started service to Guernsey in the Channel Islands on Sunday.
