BA doubles capacity on Mallorca flights
April 25th, 2011


Strong demand for travel to Mallorca has led British Airways to double capacity on its route from London City airport to Palma.

The current three weekly flights will increase to six services per week, operating every day except Saturday in July and August.

Furthermore, Friday and Sunday connections to Palma de Mallorca will continue until 31 October this year, meaning passengers can travel to the island during the school half-term holiday.

The introduction of additional services and larger aircraft means that BA will be providing more than 25,000 seats to the popular holiday island from London City over the coming months.

New routes to Faro in Portugal and Malaga in Spain are also set to be launched from the airport in June as part of the carrier’s drive to expand the range of leisure options available to passengers.

BA offers flights to a total of 12 destinations from London City, with cities such as Barcelona, Nice and Madrid also accessible from the Docklands base.

Aer Lingus starts Dublin-Bristol flights
March 27th, 2011

Aer Lingus Regional, operated by Aer Arann, has started flights from Bristol to its third Irish destination.

The carrier now operates 20 weekly flights – three return flights Sunday to Friday, and two return flights on a Saturday.

Stephen Kavanagh, Aer Lingus’ chief commercial officer, said passengers flying from Bristol will be able to connect onto the airline’s transatlantic flights to New York, Boston, Chicago and Orlando from Dublin.

The south-west airport currently has no direct services to the US.

Passengers will also be able to clear US customs and immigrations at Dublin airport, allowing them to arrive into the US as domestic passengers.

Aer Lingus Regional already operates flights from Bristol to Shannon and Cork.

Paul Schutz, Aer Arann’s CEO, said: “The launch of this service demonstrates the ongoing success of our franchise agreement with Aer Lingus and we look forward to welcoming both business and leisure passengers onboard our flights to Dublin.”

Aer Arann has also started operations, under its own brand, from London’s Southend airport.
