Aberdeen to London City

British Airways CityFlyer is to introduce a three times per day service between Aberdeen and London City on 24 September operating both Embraer 175 and 190 jets.  The BA subsidiary already serves both Edinburgh and Glasgow and is now the largest carrier at the Dockland airport.

Whilst the announcement does more or less coincide with BA’s take-over of bmi, and its six daily return flights from Heathrow to the oil capital of the north, the routing has been touted for some time and is already being welcomed by business and leisure users.  Currently British Airways operate seven daily flights between Heathrow and Aberdeen, the Scottish airport also served by Flybe (Gatwick) and easyJet (Gatwick and Luton).

Prestwick (Glasgow) is not connected to London City whilst Dundee has a twice daily CityJet/Air France operation flown by a Dornier 328 jetprop. www.ba.com
