British Airways CityFlyer is to end all operations at London Stansted Airport, with every service from the Essex hub scheduled to cease by 11 April 2027. The regional arm of British Airways will remove five weekend routes from its 2027 timetable and shift capacity to London City Airport.
Five routes removed from summer 2027 schedule
The affected destinations are Bergerac, Nice, Florence, Olbia and Majorca. Tickets on the Stansted routes will remain on sale until spring next year, after which the aircraft currently used on those services will be redeployed elsewhere in the network.
The withdrawal means Stansted will lose its only direct link to Florence, leaving passengers without a non-stop option between the two cities next summer. BA CityFlyer currently operates weekend flights to Florence, Chambéry and Geneva as part of its winter schedule from the airport.
Airline points to network review
A British Airways spokesperson said: "We continually review our network and will no longer operate BA CityFlyer weekend services from London Stansted following the end of the 2026/27 ski season. Customers can continue to book and travel on BA CityFlyer Stansted services until 11 April 2027. We regularly review where we deploy our aircraft to best meet customer demand and will invest this capacity elsewhere across our network."
While winding down at Stansted, BA CityFlyer will maintain its larger operation at London City Airport, where it connects passengers to more than 20 destinations. The Florence route will continue through the winter season before being axed.
Alternative carriers cover affected routes
Passengers travelling to the other impacted destinations will still have options from Stansted during summer 2027. Ryanair is scheduled to run up to five weekly flights to Bergerac, while Olbia will be served by Ryanair and Jet2 twice weekly.
Palma de Mallorca will be served by Ryanair, Jet2 and TUI, and Nice will continue to see daily Ryanair departures from the airport.
BA CityFlyer also operates seasonal services from Edinburgh to Florence, Majorca, San Sebastian and Split, and offers holiday packages, including seven nights in Ibiza from £412 per person this December, flying from London City.
