British Airways (London) has increased capacity on its London City-Palma de Mallorca service by 50 per cent to meet the demand for seats this summer.

With additional frequency and larger aircraft the airline will be providing over 25,000 seats to the Spanish holiday island direct from the Docklands.

Due to the high early season demand, the three-times-a-week flights will increase to six-days-a-week, excluding Saturdays, in July and August. The Friday and Sunday flights to Palma de Mallorca and Ibiza, on new BA CityFlyer Embraer ERJ 190 aircraft, will continue until October 31.

British Airways through BA CityFlyer now operates 39 leisure flights from London City Airport. The airline has also added more frequency to popular destinations of Nice and Ibiza.

British Airways will also launch new routes to Faro and Malaga in June, all from London City. The four times-a-week flights to Faro start on June 7 and the three times-a-week flights to Malaga start on June 8. Both routes will operate year round.

British Airways flies to 12 destinations from London City airport including Palma de Mallorca, Ibiza, Faro, Barcelona, Nice, Madrid and Malaga.

Flights are operated by wholly owned British Airways’ subsidiary BA CityFlyer.
