BA unveils three new routes from London City

British Airways is to launch flights from London City Airport to Paris, Prague and Reykjavik in October.

There will be three flights a day to Orly during the week and one a day at weekends, six flights a week to Prague and two a week to Reykjavik.

The Orly flights are being transferred to London City from Heathrow, while flights to Charles De Gaulle Airport will continue to operate from Heathrow.

Orly flights will transfer on October 29 and will operate similar departure times.

Customers who are booked on Heathrow to Orly flights can transfer to London City or receive a full refund.

Reykjavik will be a winter-only service, replacing flights to Granada, Spain, which will continue as a summer-only service resuming next year.

"Paris and Prague are two great additions to our schedule at London City. Well timed flights and a quick and easy journey through the airport will give business customers another option to reach either capital city, which are of course also two of the most popular leisure destinations in Europe," said Luke Hayhoe, BA general manager customer and commercial.

"Reykjavik is a leisure route, and gateway to some of the most dramatic scenery and skiing that Iceland has to offer."

Flights are now on sale with each way hand baggage only fares to Orly available from £49, to Prague from £49 and to Reykjavik from £59.

Flights will operate on Embraer jets with Club Europe and Euro Traveller cabins and two-abreast seating.
