Airline boost for buy to let property investors

The news that major airline British Airways is set to increase its frequency of transatlantic flights from London Gatwick to Tampa, Florida, to a daily service spells good news for those thinking about investing in a holiday home in the sunshine state, it is claimed.

Responding to client demand British Airways, currently the only long haul carrier flying direct to Tampa, will increase from five flights a week to a daily service making it even easier for Brits to reach the popular holiday hotspot.

‘Florida remains one of the most sought after vacation destinations especially for families due to the guaranteed sunshine and wealth of activities and entertainment available,’ said Ray Withers, director of Florida property investment experts, Property Frontiers.

‘Over 16.6 million passengers passed through Tampa International Airport in 2010, over 1.2 million last month alone and therefore the news of BA’s increased flight frequency is certainly a positive sign for the future of the state’s tourism industry,’ he added.
