The addition of Portland follows BA starting 16 new routes worldwide this year including to Pittsburgh and Charleston in the US.
BA, American Airlines and partners Finnair and Iberia will add eight new routes between Europe and North America from next summer, including a service from Boston to Heathrow by the US carrier.
BA networks and alliances director Neil Chernoff said: “Portland will be a fantastic addition to our route map. As a major technology and innovation hub the city is drawing ever-increasing numbers of international visitors.
“Since 2015 we’ve launched routes to Pittsburgh, Charleston, Nashville, New Orleans and San Jose, and this is key to our joint business strategy which is growing across North America.”
