London City gains routes and changes carrier

British Airways continues to grow its network from London City Airport with the launch of three new, mainly holiday, routes this summer.

From 25 May the airline will complete its Balearic Islands portfolio, launching flights to Mahon in Menorca.  British Airways launched highly successful services to Majorca and Ibiza from the Docklands airport two years ago.

There will also be two new French routes to Angers in the Loire Valley and Quimper in Brittany, starting in May.

The addition of the new routes means a total of 21 destinations in the UK, Europe and the USA are now served by British Airways from London City Airport.  British Airways offers all inclusive fares to all destinations, which include a generous free 23kg luggage allowance, free on-line check-in and seat selection 24 hours before departure and complimentary food and drink on board.

Not a new route but a change of operator, Alitalia plans to introduce Embraer 190 equipment on the 11 times weekly Milan Linate service, replacing Air France subsidiary CityJet who operates an Avro RJ85. www.ba.com www.alitalia.com
