From the launch of the winter timetable, the British airline will fly up to twice a day and a total of 12 times per week to its international hub at London Heathrow. The starting date for the new British Airways connection in Cologne-Bonn is 30 October.

“We are very proud to welcome British Airways back to Cologne Bonn Airport – an airline that is extremely popular with travellers and is one of the leading airlines in the world,” Thilo Schmid President and CEO of Flughafen Köln/Bonn GmbH, said.

“Firstly, the connection to Heathrow is a great value added for the economy in our whole region because London is one of the most important economic centres and there are simple connection opportunities to the worldwide network of British Airways and its partners are the Heathrow hub. Secondly, London is and remains one of the most attractive destinations for city breaks,” Schmid added.

The airline will fly to Heathrow from Cologne Bonn daily from 30 October. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays there will be two flights a day (one at around 12 noon, one in the evening at around 20 hours).
