BA increases German flights

BRITISH AIRWAYS has announced plans to expand its German network and aircraft fleet at London City Airport this summer with two new routes and an additional Embraer 190 jet. 

BA will launch new thrice-a-day flights to both #Berlin and #Hamburg. Together with the existing services to Dusseldorf and Frankfurt, the airline will operate more than 70 flights each week to Germany direct from London’s Docklands.

This is the first time that British Airways has operated to Berlin from London City. The new route will start on June 19 on an Embraer jet, with each-way hand baggage only fares from £49. While Hamburg is currently served by British Airways’ franchise partner SunAir, starting May 8 BA will serve the route using larger Saab 2000 aircraft, more than doubling the number of seats available. Each-way hand baggage only fares are available from £79.

Luke Hayhoe, British Airways’ general manager commercial and customer, London City, said: ‘Germany is a very important market for us and these new routes give both our business and leisure customers a much wider choice of destinations with a well-timed schedule.’

The airline has recently announced more seats to European holiday hotspots this summer from Heathrow (to Athens, Lisbon and Gibraltar) and from Gatwick (to Tenerife, Lanzarote and Funchal).
