British Airways is scheduled to start flying from Stansted summer onwards, a move which effectively adds a fourth London airport to its network. From 28 May 2016, the aviation giant is set to launch trips to the popular holiday sunspots of Faro, Malaga, Palma as well as Ibiza.
“Stansted is a growing airport. We will be offering a full scheduled service to some of the most popular European holiday destinations, complementing our existing services from other London airports,” said Luke Hayhoe, General Manager Commercial and Customer at British Airways’ BA CityFlyer.
The new flights will be operated by wholly-owned subsidiary, BA CityFlyer, using modern and comfortable 98-seat Embraer 190 jets which are usually based at London City Airport. Prices begin at £49 each way based on a return fare with hand baggage only—inclusive of all taxes, fees, and charges.
Each air travel journey by the company will include a choice of two cabins namely Club Europe and Euro Traveller, free seat selection, online check-in services 24 hours prior to departure, complimentary refreshments, drinks on board, and no debit card charges.
“Since we acquired Stansted, our focus has been on attracting a wider choice of airlines and these new services to Faro, Malaga, Palma, and Ibiza are strong additions to our route network which now covers over 170 destinations across Europe and North America,” said Andrew Harrison, Managing Director at Stansted.
