US Airways Launches Charlotte To London Heathrow Service

Tomorrow US Airways (LCC:NYSE) will begin daily, non-stop service between its largest hub in Charlotte, N.C. and London's preferred business airport, Heathrow. The daily flight will supplement the airline's existing daily service between its international gateway in Philadelphia and Heathrow, and replaces its current service between Charlotte and London's Gatwick airport, which ends today.

US Airways will operate the service between Charlotte and London Heathrow with Airbus A330 aircraft that features Envoy, the airline's international business class. Customers traveling in Envoy will experience the remarkably comfortable and private Envoy Suite equipped with an adjustable seat that reclines into a fully flat bed. The Envoy Suite also features personal in-flight entertainment and a 110-volt universal power outlet.

"US Airways' new daily service to Heathrow reinforces our commitment to our customers and to strengthening our trans-Atlantic network," said Suzanne Boda, US Airways' senior vice president, Airport Customer Service, International and Cargo. "Our new daily flight between our Charlotte hub and Heathrow connects customers in markets throughout the East Coast to London's preferred business and tourism hub."

Customers may book their flight through US Airways' website at www.usairways.com, by calling US Airways Reservations at 1-800-428-4322 or through their travel agent. The flight schedule is as follows.
