British Airways CityFlyer will withdraw all of its flights from London Stansted Airport by April 11, 2027, ending the airline’s presence at the Essex airport. The regional carrier will stop selling tickets on Stansted routes after that date and discontinue five weekend services originally scheduled for summer 2027, affecting Bergerac, Nice, Florence, Olbia, and Majorca.
With the withdrawal, London Stansted will lose its only direct flight connection to Florence starting summer 2027. Ryanair will operate up to five weekly flights to Bergerac from Stansted in that period, while Olbia will remain accessible by Ryanair and Jet2 with twice-weekly flights. Palma
de Mallorca will still be served from Stansted by Ryanair, Jet2, and TUI. Nice will continue to receive daily Ryanair service from the airport.
Network Reallocation and Future Plans
British Airways stated it “continually review[s] our network and will no longer operate BA CityFlyer weekend services from London Stansted following the end of the 2026/27 ski season.” The airline will redirect the aircraft currently serving Stansted to other routes within its network. Despite the withdrawal at Stansted, British Airways CityFlyer will continue operations from London City Airport, maintaining service to more than 20 destinations.
Currently, BA CityFlyer operates weekend winter flights to Florence, Chambéry, and
Geneva. The winter schedule flights to Florence will proceed before ceasing after the 2026/27 ski season ends. British Airways’ decision reflects an ongoing effort to align capacity and routes according to customer demand across its network.
