BA extend London City – Barcelona flights
25.02.10
British Airways is to extend its route network from London City Airport this year with the launch of year-round flights to Barcelona. The move is part of a wider strategy being by the airline to expand its portfolio of routes to Spain from the London gateway. New services to Majorca and Ibiza will be introduced in May, complementing BA's existing link to Madrid.
Flights to Barcelona - which were previously limited to the summer season - will take off at the end of March and continue throughout the year. An extra Saturday morning flight will be launched in May, bringing the number of weekly connections on the route to seven.
Luke Hayhoe, commercial manager for BA CityFlyer, which will operate the flights, said: 'Our Spanish destinations are proving extremely popular from London City Airport. Barcelona has traditionally operated as a summer-only destination but there is a big demand from both business and leisure passengers for us to continue through the winter.'
