Well, it's obviously not going to happen overnight, but there's FlyAtlantic who are looking to offer transatlantic flights from/to BFS: https://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/na...travel-4277547; and if/when the facility has been built, perhaps AA, DL, UA or possibly even JetBlue may consider offering flights from/to there?

I think Trump will probably fully endorse the scheme as he's far more likely to do a UK-US post-Brexit trade agreement compared to Biden.
