Hyderabad will be the sixth Indian destination served by BA, joining Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai in the carrier's route network.
Robert Boyle, the airline's commercial director, said: 'India is our largest market outside North America and, with the Hyderabad route, we will fly there 48 times each week.
"This is up from 19 flights per week when the UK/India aviation market was liberalised in October 2005."
Mr Boyle said that the service is expected to be popular with business travellers, owing to the growth currently being experienced in Hyderabad's economy.
