British Airways is going daily to Buenos Aires and non-stop to Rio de Janeiro next winter.
From October 26 BA is increasing its London Heathrow to Buenos Aires flights from four per week to a daily service and flying non-stop from Heathrow to Rio instead of via Sao Paulo, cutting more than two hours off the flight time.
BA’s commercial director, Robert Boyle, said: “South America is a growing market for us as demand for business and leisure travel increases. We’re responding to that demand by providing more flights to Buenos Aires and non-stop services to Rio.
“Rio is traditionally a leisure destination but business travel to the city, particularly in the energy sector, is rising. Non-stop flights mean more available seats on the route and faster flight times.”
