The addition of Calgary specifically facilitates those working in the oil industry. The codeshare route will allow passengers further choice and more convenient travel itineraries," says Steve Harrison British Airways' Area Manager, Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.
British Airways offers 42 flights per week to London Heathrow from the GCC offering its award winning FIRST, Club World, World Traveller Plus and World Traveller cabins.
