London City - Palma route expanded

Established essentially as a business traffic airport London City is experiencing a minor boom with the Mediterranean leisure routes led by British Airways and its Embraer fleet.  New services to Faro and Malaga have already been reported by AERBT.

British Airways flies all year round to both Barcelona and Nice.  During the summer Ibiza and Palma Majorca are added.  Such has been the strength of forward bookings for the months of July and August Palma goes up to daily, except for Saturday.  Ibiza remains at three times per week.  In addition to the extra frequency British Airways will operate the flights using its fleet of larger 98-seat Embraer 190 jets in a two-class configuration.  

The other London City main operator, Air France CityJet, is also experiencing a growth with what is essentially leisure traffic and destinations this summer include Avignon, Deauville, Nantes and Toulon. www.ba.com www.cityjet.com
