British Airways will begin service between Mineta San Jose International Airport in California and London Heathrow from May 4, 2016.
This marks the first regularly scheduled nonstop service to the UK for the city of San Jose. British Airways will operate the newest aircraft in its fleet, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, featuring the airline?s newly designed First cabin.
San Jose will be the fourth Californian city from which British Airways flies, following Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego.
Simon Brooks, senior vice president for British Airways North America, said ?We want to give the business community in and around Silicon Valley more options to access the UK and Europe, quickly and easily.
?Choice and flexibility when flying are critical for our Bay area customers so we believe this new service will be a welcome addition to our network.?
