Midwest Milestone: US Airport Welcomes Its First Direct UK Flight In Over 20 Years

St. Louis Lambert Airport (STL), in Missouri, US, is set to receive flights from a second European destination later today, making it also the airport’s first direct service to and from the UK in 20 years. This new service will be operated by UK-based British Airways. The carrier is also set to deploy its premium-heavy Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets on this route, which is an indication as to the type of passenger market the airline is expecting on this route.
