The Cincy Region is set for an even stronger connection with the UK in 2027, as British Airways announces a significant expansion of its nonstop service between London Heathrow and Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG).
The enhanced summer schedule will see British Airways introduce daily flights for key periods of the 2027 season, opening up even more opportunities for UK travellers to discover Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky while strengthening the region’s direct link with one of the world’s major international aviation hubs.
British Airways operates between five and six flights per week, increasing to a daily service from 22 April through June 2027 for the summer. Daily flights will return later in the season, from 9 September to 28 October 2027.
CVG Airport Board Chair, Chad Summe, said: “Less than a year ago, we were proud to announce thatBritish Airways was increasing service between the Cincy region and the U.K. to six days a week. Now,with daily service, this route continues to prove its value as a vital global connection for our region’sbusinesses, travelers, and economy. This expanded service reflects strong demand and further enhancesCVG’s global connectivity, giving our community even more flexibility when traveling to the U.K., Europe,and beyond. We’re grateful to British Airways for the continued partnership.”
The increased frequency will give travellers greater flexibility when planning a Cincy Region getaway, while strengthening the direct connection between London and this gateway to the Midwest, a destination where North meets South and two states meet across the Ohio River.
First launched in 2023, the service remains the only nonstop connection between the United Kingdom and the Cincy Region, providing a vital direct link between London Heathrow, Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. The expanded summer 2027 schedule will be operated by British Airways’ Boeing 787 fleet.
