The regional airline announced its intention last week to move the flights – currently linked to the capital via London City and Stansted – to the London hub subject to government consent.
The approval has now been received from transport secretary Mark Harper, affirming the move of Derry and Dundee services into Heathrow’s Terminal 2 from 6 May.
This will be the first ever link between Derry and Heathrow, and for Dundee, restores an air link last offered almost 40 years ago.
