British Airways will inaugurate its summer flight schedule to Greece late in April, with two new routes planned for Kalamata and Chania, Crete, while more flights will be added for Corfu and Santorini, two favorite Greek destinations for UK tourists.
In total, British Airways will connect London to eight Greek destinations: Kalamata, Chania and Irakleio (Herakleion) on Crete, Corfu, Kos, Rhodes, Mykonos, Santorini, as well as with Thessaloniki.
The new routes will begin from April 30.
Chania and Kalamata will enjoy a frequency of two direct flights per week and Corfu and Santorini will see an increased frequency of six and four per week, respectively, in order to cover the increasing volumes of passengers during the summer period. Kos and Mykonos will have two flights per week, Irakleio five flights per week, Rhodes two flights per week and Thessaloniki four flights per week, the UK carrier announced.
“These destinations will give our passengers the opportunity to enhance their travel experience and be flexible about their travel choices”, Freddie Stier, British Airways’ Commercial Manager Greece, Turkey and Cyprus, said referring to BA’s new Kalamata and Chania routes.
The flights to all Greek destinations will be served by both the A319 and A320 aircraft from London Heathrow and London Gatwick airports.
