American Airlines will introduce a fourth daily service between Heathrow and its largest hub at Dallas Fort Worth airport from June 14.
The new frequency will operate six times-weekly (no Thursday service), departing Heathrow at 10.30 and arriving into Dallas at 14.40, with the return leg leaving the US city at 17.15 and landing back into London at 08.30 the following day.
The flight will be operated by a B767-300 aircraft configured for 28 business class and 190 economy seats, and means Oneworld will serve the London-Dallas route a total of five times-daily, with BA also operating a daily flight between the two cities.
The transatlantic joint business agreement between AA and BA also allows for connecting travel between the two carriers at both Dallas Fort Worth and London Heathrow.
No other carriers currently offer a direct, non-stop service between London and Dallas – US Airways operates flights via Philadelphia.
