BA to fly to Hyderabad

British Airways is to launch new flights to the Indian city of Hyderabad this autumn, it has been announced.

The new flights will commence on October 27th, departing from London Heathrow and will fly five times per week, British Airways' commercial director Robert Boyle has said.

Mr Boyle said the airline is likely to meet with particular demand from business flyers.

He explained: "India is our largest market outside North America and, with the Hyderabad route, we will fly there 48 times each week.

"Hyderabad has a fast growing economy based on IT, business process outsourcing and biotech industries and we believe that there will be a strong business demand for our flights which will be the only direct services between the city and the UK."

With the addition of flights to Hyderabad, BA now flies to six destinations in India, including Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai.
