About BA Cityflyer
BA CityFlyer is a regional air carrier serving destinations in the United Kingdom and Europe. It is a wholly owned subsidiary that was set up by British Airways in 2007. After British Airways sold the majority of its BA Connect operations to Flybe, it decided to resurrect the previously existing CityFlyer Express brand, which had been previously based at London Gatwick Airport. Although its headquarters are in Didsbury, Manchester, its operating centres are located at London City Airport and London Stansted Airport. It has a fleet of 20 Embraer airplanes.
The company serves 24 different destinations, some of which are predominately seasonal routes that operate in either summer or winter. Most routes cover popular beach destinations such as Ibiza, Mykonos and Santorini plus popular metropolitan locations like Amsterdam, Florence and Dublin. It also offers charter services in addition to its scheduled flights. Through its parent airline it is an affiliate of the oneworld alliance.
