British Airways

British Airways is offering new direct flights from London’s Heathrow airport to the city of Kalamata, in the southern Peloponnese, starting in April 30, 2016, through to September 24.

Freddie Stier, Commercial Manager of British Airways of Cyprus and Greece:

The flight BA632 of British Airways to Athens landed on Heathrow airport due to fuel leakage.

According to information, one of its motors had stopped operating because of the fuel leakage.

The airplane of the British airlines landed safely on runway 27L at Heathrow airport and according to information, passengers will board on another plane to continue their journey to Athens.

British Airways returned to Herakleion, Crete, after thirty years. A warm waiting was in store for the first British Airways flight carrying 120 passengers to Nikos Kazantzakis airport at 1 p.m. on Sunday. The tourists were welcomed with traditional Cretan food and drinks.

Pilots of British Airways flight BA49 heading to Seattle, notified Control that they are facing a state of emergency and that the airplane is landing back at Heathrow, according to the Daily Mirro.

India's civil aviation regulator said Aug. 13 it has ordered Jet Airways to suspend two pilots after a flight to Brussels dived 5,000 feet, forcing air traffic controllers to issue an emergency warning.

Air seats to Greece have increased by 10 percent this year as not only are low-fare airlines choosing the country as a destination despite Athens International Airport’s high costs, but established carriers are now returning to the country’s airspace in response to its growing tourism figures.

British Airways will operate direct flights from London’s Heathrow Airport to the Greek islands of Myconos and Santorini for the high season starting on May 3. The airliner has also added a Thessaloniki-London Gatwick Airport service four times a week.
