St Louis and London were last served by an American Airlines flight from Gatwick. BA’s service will operate to the Missouri city from Heathrow four times a week, starting from 19 April 2026.
The city is famous for its 630-feet high gateway arch and viewing platform, plus its historic Union Station, which is now a hotel and entertainment complex.
St Louis will be BA’s 27th US destination and comes as the region prepares to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Route 66 next year. It is hoped the new service will also be a gateway to Fifa World Cup games in Kansas City, which has no direct UK air link.
