British Airways to Launch New Flights to the Dominican Republic

British Airways is to launch new twice-weekly services from Gatwick to Montego Bay and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. The new flights will begin on October 25, 2009.

Richard Tams, head of sales, said, "These new routes and increased frequencies underline our commitment to the Caribbean. It's a popular destination with our customers and it's due to demand that we're increasing the number of flights to the region. We now operate to 13 destinations in the Caribbean - more than any other UK airline."

The airline is also increasing flights to other winter sun hot-spots in the region.

Flights to St Lucia from Gatwick are up from three to five a week, Barbados from nine to ten, and Port of Spain, Trinidad from three to five.

Tickets go on sale today, Friday, 22 May 2009.
