British Airways will ramp up its presence ex-Sydney from the end of March next year when the JSA with Qantas comes to an end.
From 1st April, it will replace a B747 aircraft with a brand new B777-300, Flight BA 16 flying SYD-SIN-LHR direct. “In a way, the ending of the JSA with QF is good for us as we want to show our absolute commitment to Australia,” said Nader Harmouche, BA Account Exec. “Our B777-300 will feature a new First Class product, a new award-winning Business Class offering, an enhanced Premium Economy and a new and improved Economy Class,” added Harmouche. He spoke to Travel Daily at Heathrow Airport yesterday after escorting a party of Aussie travel agents on a joint QF/BA educational to Frankfurt. They flew into LHR’s T3 and saw pax seamlessly transferred to BA’s ultra-modern T5 for the FRA flight. “But after 1st April they won’t have to change terminals – our B777 service will go straight into T5,” Harmouche said. BA will continue to code-share with QF on flights ex-SIN & BKK, arriving at T3. Baggage can be checked through to European ports with no need to clear Customs at Heathrow. |
