British Airways Returns to Stansted with New European Routes

British Airways has introduced new routes from London Stansted to Nice, Florence, and Ibiza. These flights will be operated by BA CityFlyer on weekends using Embraer 190 aircraft, featuring Club Europe and Euro Traveller cabins. Additionally, the airline will start a new route to Split, Croatia in September and maintain its weekly Sunday charter to Calvi in partnership with Corsican Places throughout the summer.

This marks the return of British Airways’ scheduled flights from London Stansted for the first time since the global pandemic began, making it the fourth London airport the carrier services. The inaugural flight to Florence occurred on Sunday (May 19) at 7.40 am, followed by departures to Nice at 8.35 am and a midday flight to Ibiza at 3 pm.

Ciaran Brannigan, London Stansted’s Commercial Director, said: “London Stansted serves more European destinations than any other UK airport and these new services to Ibiza, Florence and Nice are strong additions to our route network, which now covers over 200 destinations across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

“I’m sure these routes will be very popular with passengers from across London, Cambridge and the growing East of England region. We look forward to working closely with British Airways to build a strong working relationship and ensure these new flights are a success.”
