CINCINNATI (WXIX) – British Airways is expanding at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, bringing additional nonstop flights to and from London.
Starting in Spring 2026, the airline will offer six weekly nonstop flights between CVG and London Heathrow Airport.
New seating options will also be available for the trips across the pond due to increased demand.
Travelers will get to fly in a Boeing 777-200 instead of the typical Boeing 787-800, bringing 48 business class suites, 40 premium economy seats and 184 economy seats.
Since launching our nonstop service between Cincinnati and London Heathrow over two years ago, we’ve been delighted by the strong demand from customers across the region ever since. Now operating six times per week and on larger aircraft, this expanded schedule offers our customers greater flexibility and convenience when planning their next journey. It also reflects our ongoing commitment to our biggest international market, and we look forward to welcoming customers on board.

According to a press release from CVG, British Airways’ expansion at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport could have an economic impact of millions of dollars each year for the Cincinnati region.
British Airways will make the change to six days a week of operation on March 29, 2026, which will continue through October 2026.
This expansion reflects the strong demand we’re seeing from our community—both business travelers who need reliable connections to London and beyond, and leisure passengers exploring the UK, Europe, and beyond. The growth in market demand over two years tells us this route has become essential for our region.
