BA to expand City Airport
14 March 2007
British Airways has launched an expansion of its City Airport site at London's Docklands which will see its services increase by 70 per cent.
The CityFlyer BA subsidiary will run 250 flights a week in and out of the central London location, which serves mostly business passengers for domestic and short Continental flights.
Future flight schedules, which will come into effect on 27 March, will include eight daily flights to Edinburgh and create daily four flights on a new direct route to Glasgow, the airline revealed, while Zurich will join its three existing European locations of Frankfurt, Milan, and Madrid.
Nevertheless, the airline has no plans as yet to extend its business services to the Benelux countries routes currently monopolised by competitor VLM, incoming CityFlyer managing director Peter Simpson stressed.
City Airport will now handle 650,000 BA passengers a year, Mr Simpson announced.
'We plan to focus here and are looking to expand again from next year,' he added.
BA began serving the centrally-located airport, which opened in the Royal Docks in 1987, in 2003.
