• New York

• Cape Town
• Abuja
• Lagos
• Phoenix

There are due to be more moves in the months of September and Novermber to the following destinations;

September

• Toronto
• Buenos Aires
• Nairobi
• Kuwait
• Tel-Aviv

The airline have ensured that there are extra staff to cope with any problems but according to British Airways the move is going smoothly thus far. When the final flights are moved and the airline is settled in Terminal 5 it will be handling over 500 flights every day.
