British Airways CityFlyer is set to withdraw from London Stansted Airport, ending all flight operations by April 11, 2027. Ticket sales for Stansted routes will continue until that date, after which aircraft currently serving Stansted will be redeployed within British Airways’ network. Five weekend routes scheduled for the 2027 summer season—Bergerac, Nice, Florence, Olbia, and Majorca—have been dropped from the BA 2027 schedule.
The withdrawal will see London Stansted lose its only direct connection to Florence. BA CityFlyer currently operates weekend winter services to Florence, Chambéry, and Geneva. Travelers to Florence from Stansted will lose a direct nonstop option from
summer 2027. However, passengers to Bergerac, Nice, Olbia, and Majorca will have alternatives: Ryanair plans up to five weekly flights to Bergerac and daily departures to Nice; Ryanair and Jet2 will offer two weekly flights each to Olbia; Ryanair, Jet2, and TUI will continue serving Palma de Mallorca from Stansted.
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 added, “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.”
While BA CityFlyer exits Stansted, London City Airport remains a major base with over 20 destinations served. This withdrawal marks the end of British Airways presence at London Stansted Airport in Essex. BA CityFlyer operates short-haul flights across the UK and Europe, and the airline is reallocating capacity away from Stansted as part of its network review.
