British Airways is set to withdraw all flights from London Stansted Airport, with operations ending on April 11, 2027. The routes, currently run by the airline's regional subsidiary BA CityFlyer, have been removed from the summer 2027 schedule.
BA CityFlyer mainly operates domestic and European services, with most departing from London City Airport. Until April, passengers can still book and travel on Stansted services, after which aircraft will be redeployed across the British Airways network.
Affected Routes and Winter Services
Five weekend summer routes from Stansted will no longer operate in 2027: Bergerac, Nice, Florence, Olbia, and Majorca. Winter services to Chambéry, Florence, and Geneva will continue to run from Stansted.
A British Airways spokesperson told Metro: “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.”
Alternative Airlines and Passenger Rights
Other carriers will serve most of the affected destinations from Stansted, except Florence, which will lose its direct link. Ryanair will operate flights to Bergerac five times a week, while Olbia will have twice-weekly services from both Ryanair and Jet2. Majorca will remain served by Ryanair, Jet2, and TUI, and Ryanair will offer daily flights to Nice.
If a booking is cancelled, UK law entitles passengers to an alternative flight and a full refund. Passengers may also check with their insurance provider for additional compensation, though most policies only cover bookings made before the announcement. British Airways has not yet detailed how it will contact affected passengers.
