| I know that BA wanted to fly this route, but for some reason are delaying the introduction . They have stated that this route is the next highest priority in 2005. Does any one know when BA or some other airline might start flying this route ? |

apart from BA no one is satrting a HYD - LHR service ... maybe in a years time (W will start a service to LHR as they are connecting lhr with every possible city in india
*but if u want to get to UK u have a numerous options via ME and can get to airports like BHX , GLA , NCL , MAN , LGW.
to get to the us iam sure LH , KL hv good connections ... also EK will very soon give u connections to JFK , IAH , GRU .... and QR to IAD ,EWR |

As per the India-UK ASA:
| Quote: | | From the beginning of the IATA Winter season 2005, the designated airlines of the UK may operate on any other route or routes between the UK and India and vv, subject to a total capacity limit of 7 services per week to/from each airport in India, except that in the cases of Bangalore and chennai only, the total capacity limit will be increased to 14 services per week each from the beginning of the IATA summer season 2006 |
So clearly seems like BA has the route authority/traffic rights for the LHR-HYD sector. Given they're expanding BLR to a 744 this winter, I'm surprised on why they're not starting services to HYD - surely HYD can support a 3 or 4 weekly 777 service to LHR? |

clearly, HYD has enough potential to support a 3-5 pw LON BA service.
maybe BA plans a summer 08 launch after its consolidation at BLR. |

If Air India's fleet plan for the 777s had gone as scheduled with the first 777LR in Feb 2007, AI was seriously considering a 777/747-400 service each from Hyderabad/Bangalore/Chennai (extendable to Cochin) to London.
Anyway, thats history now for a while. |
