British Airways expanding St. Louis-to-London service with daily flights in 2027

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) - A British airline will expand its service from St. Louis Lambert International Airport to London with daily flights beginning next year.

British Airways announced Tuesday that it will introduce daily flights to London for more than four months of the season, beginning in the summer of 2027.

The airline said it will also increase seats on the route by 80 percent compared to this summer. It recently launched its inaugural flight from St. Louis to London-Heathrow in April.

Hubert Frach, the head of the airline’s North America sales, said the expansion will increase its growing presence in St. Louis.

“The response to this route has been tremendous since launch only five months ago, and this expansion gives customers even greater choice and flexibility, while strengthening connections from St. Louis to London, Europe and our global network of more than 200 destinations,” Frach said.

The airline will operate a five-flight-per-week schedule until March 28, 2027, according to a news release. Daily service will begin on April 19, 2027, and run through June 28. Daily service will then continue between Sept. 6 and Oct. 30.

St. Louis Lambert International Airport said the new flights will give international travelers more flexibility, increase economic opportunities and make the city more attractive to travelers.

“By making it easier for more tourists to enjoy our region, it will also strengthen our competitive edge as a destination for new visitors, conventions and investment,” said Ron Kitchens, managing partner of Greater St. Louis. “We thank British Airways for their support, and we look forward to continuing to show the world what makes our region a great place to live, work and build a business.”
