British Airways will launch a four times a week direct service to Osaka from March 31, 2019. Flights will depart from Heathrow Terminal 5 and land at Osaka’s Kansai International Airport.
The new route, operated by the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, takes the number of daily flights between London and Japan offered as part of British Airways’ joint business with Japan Airlines, up to 32 a week.
Japan Airlines will also offer a codeshare on the new service, giving customers more opportunities to earn and redeem Avios loyalty points across the network.
