British Airways PLC will reportedly cut a transatlantic route between London and North Texas next year.
The United Kingdom's second-largest carrier plans to stop its only nonstop flight between London-Heathrow Airport and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in summer 2025, according to stories from outlets including industry publication AeroTime.
But the gap will be filled by Fort Worth-based American Airlines Group Inc. (Nasdaq: AAL), DFW's biggest carrier, which recently announced a new flight to London as well as other international cities.
British Airways and American Airlines are members of the Oneworld alliance, through which member airlines collaborate to improve experiences for travelers. Thirteen airlines are members: Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Royal Jordanian and SriLankan Airlines.
British Airways has often flown between London-Heathrow Airport and DFW on the largest passenger jet available, the Airbus A380, to meet demand.
A transatlantic joint venture between American and British Airways allows them to coordinate schedules, according to the travel news site One Mile at a Time.
British Airways is operating one daily flight on the London-Dallas route this winter. American Airlines currently operates four.
British Airways will end its London to Dallas route as of March 30, 2025.
