The British Airways direct service from London Heathrow to Nashville will elevate the entire state as an international travel destination with non-stop service from the United Kingdom, the largest international feeder market to the U.S. with 4 million visitors per year.
North America Travel Service is a UK-based specialist tour operator, offering quality, tailor-made holidays to the leisure traveler from the UK to the U.S. for almost 50 years. “Tennessee has long played an important part in our leisure program, in spite of the fact that there has been no direct service into the state,” said Ruby Briggs, managing director of North America Travel Service. “A non-stop UK/Nashville operation would enable us to enhance our Tennessee offering to our customers.”
And, there are additional benefits like the connections with Deutsche British Airways in Germany and the developing Scandinavian markets, which feed into Heathrow and the British Airways network. These visitors prefer to transfer in Europe and then fly non-stop to their final U.S. destination. The same concept applies to the lucrative Meetings, Conference and Incentive sector, which logistically demands non-stop service to the final destination.
In addition to the British Airways direct service to Nashville in 2018, Tennessee will be easily accessible by car from four international gateway airports: Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinnati and New Orleans.
The average length of stay of Europeans in the Travel South region was 15 nights and on average these Europeans visited 2.4 states, according to research from Travel South USA.
