Direct flights between Birmingham and New York could return after Birmingham Airport (BHX) today announced it has committed funds to attract US connectivity back to the region.
The airport says a targeted, financial support package has been made to airlines – stating it “sends a clear signal BHX means business when it comes to reinstating the critical, direct transatlantic route”.
The multi-year financial support offer will see BHX invest several million dollars to secure direct, daily scheduled services between New York and Birmingham from summer 2027.
This would coincide with the Invictus Games landing in Birmingham.
