British Airways CityFlyer announced it will cease all operations from London Stansted Airport by April 2027. The airline will end its service following the completion of the 2026/27 ski season, withdrawing completely from the Essex airport.
Cancelled Weekend Routes for Summer 2027
The airline will discontinue five planned weekend summer 2027 routes from London Stansted, including flights to Bergerac and Nice in France, Florence and Olbia in Italy, and Majorca (Palma de Mallorca) in Spain. This move means Stansted will lose its only direct service to Florence for the upcoming summer season.
Booking Availability and Service End Dates
BA CityFlyer will maintain services until April 11, 2027, allowing customers to book and
travel until that date. The 2026/27 ski season marks the end period for the airline’s weekend winter routes from Stansted, including flights to Florence, Chambéry, and Geneva.
Alternative Airlines Serving Affected Destinations
Other carriers will continue to operate routes from London Stansted to the affected destinations. Ryanair will provide up to five weekly flights to Bergerac and daily flights to Nice. For Olbia, both Ryanair and Jet2 offer services, with Jet2 flying twice weekly. Palma de Mallorca will remain served by Ryanair, Jet2, and TUI during summer 2027.
Official Statements and Capacity Reallocation
British Airways stated: “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.” The airline indicated it will redeploy aircraft previously assigned to Stansted routes to other parts of its network to meet customer demand.
BA CityFlyer’s Broader Network Context
BA CityFlyer, as British Airways’ regional unit, continues to operate a broader network from London City Airport, where it serves over 20 destinations. The withdrawal from Stansted reflects a network realignment without impacting BA CityFlyer’s larger base at London City Airport.
