BA to expand London City operations
British Airways is launching a new subsidiary to expand operations from London City Airport by more than 70%.
BA CityFlyer will operate 250 flights a week from the Docklands airport to six UK and European destinations from the end of the month.
BA currently runs 144 flights a week from London City and the move follows BA offloading regional arm BA Connect to Flybe.
The new offshoot will start routes to Glasgow and Zurich from March 26, each served four times a day, and add extra frequency to Edinburgh. Destinations also include Frankfurt, Madrid and Milan. Fares start at £39 one-way, including taxes.
The airline’s schedule enables passengers to do a full business day in Glasgow and Zurich with a same-day return option.
The airline, employing 278 staff, will operate 10 Avro RJ00 aircraft, with up to 110 seats in a single-class configuration on domestic routes and a two-class layout on European routes.
Managing director designate Peter Simpson said: “London City Airport will be a major focus for us over the next few years.
“It is an increasingly popular base for customers, easy to use and conveniently located for the growing business districts of Docklands and the City.
“Our existing services have been well received by the business community, and our new routes are very much at the top of the “wish list” for our customers.
“This growth demonstrates our commitment to London City. We believe BA CityFlyer has a great future here, and we will evaluate further growth opportunities as we plan our schedules for 2008 and beyond.”
