RIchard..... There has only ever been one operator flying direct from Cincinnati to London. Delta have previously been the sole operator on the route. Delta inaugurated Cincinnati to London Gatwick in 1986 with L1011 TriStar-500.
DL36 DEP CVG 20.40 ARR LGW 09.00 Daily L15.
CVG to LGW lasted up until Delta obtained slots at LHR in 2008. I can't remember if the CVG route transferred to LHR at the time or if it was abandoned.
British Airways have never previously served Cincinnati. Cincinnati will be a totally new US destination for British Airways.
Previous unserved US destinations for British Airways are Anchorage, Charlotte, Charleston, Detroit, Ft Lauderdale and Oakland. British Caledonian also briefly served St Louis in 1981/82.
