American Airlines will be launching a new non-stop service between Heathrow and Phoenix Sky Harbor, Arizona, from March 31, 2019.
The daily service will initially operate from March 31 to October 26 and aims to meet the heightened demand of UK travellers visiting Arizona, known for its warm weather, outdoor adventure, desert scenery, American Indian culture and the Grand Canyon.
Debbie Johnson, director of the Arizona Office of Tourism, said: ?Arizona is the heart of the American Southwest, which is a region so many British travellers love. And Phoenix is, by far, the easiest fly-in destination for a visit to Grand Canyon National Park. The Grand Canyon is just one of 22 national parks and monuments in Arizona, and Brits who have travelled here before tend to want to see more parks, more dramatic landscapes, more Arizona cities and towns. This additional nonstop flight makes it easier to do that.?
