Routes extended for island hotspots
British Airways' new London City flights to the Balearic Islands have proved so popular with customers that the routes are to be extended this autumn.
The summer-only flights, launched in May, were due to end in September, but will now be extended for a further five weeks. The Friday and Sunday flights to Mallorca and Ibiza, on brand new Embraer 190 aircraft, will continue until October 31, enabling a long weekend or longer breaks. The extension also means flights will operate until the end of the school half-term holidays.
Luke Hayhoe, commercial manager for BA CityFlyer, said: "These leisure routes have really taken off from London City, they proved so popular that we have already increased frequency to Mallorca to five flights a week and to Ibiza to four flights a week in July and August. "Now we have the opportunity to extend the season and customers can enjoy some late sun with the excellent autumn climate that the Balearic Islands can offer."
The flight will operate 2 x weekly from 17th September to 31st October:
