AUSTIN  — The first regular transatlantic flights to and from Austin-Bergstrom  International Airport will begin next year.

On Tuesday City officials joined British Airways to announce the start  of non-stop service to and from London, England. The new nonstop service to London expected to generate millions

The flights will run five days a week. British Airways says it will  eventually increase service to every day.   The new service will have a financial impact of nearly $70 million in  its first year. That impact is expected to grow to $74 million annually.

“It will create approximately 1,100 jobs within the air service  industry. London is obviously Austin’s largest traffic generator in  Europe. Securing this transatlantic non-stop route has been a top  priority,” said Lew Little of the City of Austin Chamber Board.

Service at ABIA has seen steady growth in recent years. Airport  officials say it’s up six percent from this time last year. ABIA generates about $2.4 billion to the local  economy each year.

With the  addition of British Airways, the airport now has non-stop service to 41  different destinations.

The first flight to and from London Heathrow is scheduled to begin March  3, 2014. Tickets are on sale now.
