American Airlines have announced that they will be launching a new daily non-stop year
round Boeing 757 service from Birmingham Airport to New York JFK on Friday 8 May 2015
The route will provide nearly 100,000 seats between and Birmingham and New York and through
the American Airlines and British Airways joint business and oneworld airline alliance will offer a
British Airways code share, allowing customers to earn and redeem BA Airmiles and Avios points
Paul Kehoe, Birmingham Airport's Chief Executive, said, "This new route will not only create more
capacity to this vibrant US business and tourist destination, it will also broaden connectivity and
choice from the Midlands with American Airlines across North America and Canada and see the
return of a British Airways flight code to Birmingham
"Last year, the West Midlands exported £4.5bn worth of goods to North America and has the largest
trade surplus with North America of any UK region, and with global brands such as JLR, JCB, Cadbury
and Kraft trading both locally and in the US, this is an important link for Midlands’ business"
"The region is also a major tourist destination for Americans, with attractions such as Stratford,
Warwick and Birmingham drawing in thousands of visitors every year so we look forward to
welcoming many of these tourists into Birmingham next summer and we thank the team at
American Airlines for recognising the region’s vast market opportunities"
