British Airways is adding Miami to its A380 network from next October.
The twice-daily service to south east Florida is part of BA’s plans to “enhance the usage” of facilities at Heathrow T3 and T5 by combining its operations in two terminals and moving out of T1.
Over the next 12 months, flights to 20 BA destinations, including Miami, will change terminals at Heathrow and by the middle of October 2015 all of the airline's services will depart from either its flagship home of T5 or the main Oneworld alliance Heathrow base in T3.
BA’s director of strategy Lynne Embleton, said: "The acquisition and integration of Bmi into British Airways has been a great success but one of its challenges was having to split our flights between three terminals for more than three years while the new Heathrow Terminal 2 was being built.”
She added: "British Airways' A380 services have proved to be really popular with our customers and we are confident that Miami will be equally successful as part of our Atlantic Joint Business with American Airlines, US Airways, Iberia and Finnair."
In September BA announced it was operating the A380 on its Heathrow to San Francisco route.
