About BA CityFlyer
BA CityFlyer, a wholly-owned subsidiary of British Airways, was established on March 25, 2007, to operate services from London City Airport (LCY). The airline's roots can be traced back further to CityFlyer Express, a British Airways franchisee that operated from London Gatwick Airport in the 1990s and was later absorbed into mainline British Airways operations in 2001. BA CityFlyer was formed following British Airways' sale of its regional business, BA Connect, but retaining the London City Airport operations.
The airline's main operational base is London City Airport (LCY), known for its unique steep approach and proximity to London's financial district, making it popular with business travelers. In addition to London City, BA CityFlyer also operates scheduled and charter flights from other UK regional airports, including Edinburgh Airport (EDI), Glasgow Airport (GLA), London Stansted Airport (STN), and Belfast City Airport (BHD), primarily for leisure destinations. The airline's head office is located in Didsbury, Manchester, England.
BA CityFlyer exclusively operates a fleet of 20 Embraer E190 aircraft. These narrow-body, twin-engine jets are configured with a 2-2 seating layout, meaning no middle seats, which contributes to a more spacious cabin feel for passengers. The route network is focused on domestic UK and European destinations, catering to both business and leisure travelers, with popular routes including Edinburgh, Dublin, Amsterdam, and various seasonal holiday destinations across Europe. As an affiliate of British Airways, BA CityFlyer is a member of the Oneworld airline alliance. Notable services include two cabin classes, Club Europe (Business Class) and Euro Traveller (Economy), with both offering a complimentary full bar service, including spirits, which differentiates it from many other short-haul European airlines.
