To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the names of airlines which fly from Heathrow airport to the United States of America.

Mr. McLoughlin

Under the terms of the United Kingdom—United States air services agreement British Airways, Pan American World Airways and Trans World Airlines are permitted to operate scheduled passenger services between London Heathrow and the United States.

In addition, the following airlines have been granted permission by both the United States Government and the Government of the United Kingdom to operate scheduled passenger services from their country of origin via London (including Heathrow) to the United States:

  • Air India
  • El Al Israel Airlines
  • Kuwait Airways Corporation

Other airlines may be able to fly from Heathrow to the United States as part of an international route, but without traffic rights on the London—United States sector.
