BA World Cargo to add Hyderabad to Indian network
British Airways World Cargo will from October offer five flights a week using Boeing 777s between London Heathrow and Hyderabad in India, increasing the annual cargo capacity to and from the region by 2,500 tons.
“These new services complement our long-haul freighter network and demonstrate our commitment to providing customers with access to strategic global markets,” said Mat Burton, BA World Cargo’s area manager for India and Nepal. “Hyderabad is an increasingly important station, primarily due to the rapid increase in pharmaceutical and IT manufacture in the region.”
The airline offers 43 line flights and 10 freighter services per week connecting Heathrow with five cities in India — Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore.
