British Airways has unveiled plans to
add the islands of São Miguel and Terceira in the beautiful
Azores archipelago to its Heathrow short-haul network from next
summer.
The weekly flights will operate from London
Heathrow to São Miguel from 2 July until 3 September
2022, and to Terceira from 10 July until 28 August 2022.
The airline will operate an A320 to both
destinations, with up to 180 seats.
Neil Chernoff,
British Airways’ Director of Network and Alliances, said, “After a
difficult 18 months, it’s fantastic to be in a position to launch
two new routes next summer from Heathrow. These two Islands in the
Azores will be the perfect addition to our network, offering more
choice in one of the most popular regions in Europe for British sunseekers.”
The Azores
archipelago is made up of nine islands. The island of Terceira is home
to an UNESCO World Heritage site with its stunning laurel forests
and São Miguel, home to the Lake of Seven Cities, has been dubbed
one of the seven natural wonders of Portugal. The Azores is
also the first archipelago in the world to be certified as a
sustainable destination by Earth Check.
