BA's Gatwick-Colombo service will take off on 23 October operating three times a week, providing direct connectivity to Sri Lanka's capital during the winter season.
The airline will also launch daily Heathrow-Melbourne services from 9 January 2027, via Kuala Lumpur, marking its return to Australia's second city and tapping into demand for major events such as the Australian Open and the Melbourne Formula One Grand Prix.
Elsewhere, the carrier is boosting frequencies across its network, including a third daily Heathrow-Cape Town service from December and double-daily flights to Tokyo's Haneda airport from the end of March, continuing through winter.
