LAS VEGAS, Nv. -- It was a welcome fit for a queen. Las Vegas unrolled the red carpet for British Airways executives to show them their investment in tourism in the valley will pay off.
"This is critical to us. This is a wonderful first step. I hope they put on additional flights before too long," said Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman.
British tourists represent the third largest segment of international travel for Las Vegas. British Airways CEO Willie Walsh sees more customers. "It's not just about connecting London to Las Vegas, our flights from London Heathrow connects Europe to Las Vegas," he said.
So far he says this has been the most successful launch in British Airways history with the amount of bookings from Europe to Las Vegas. "I think this is a good time for us to launch this. I think it's also very much a case where we want to be present and established when things start to improve. I think things will improve in due course," he said.
