British Airways pulls out of major UK airport as all flights axed

Five summer holiday routes disappear from BA’s 2027 schedule

The affected destinations are Bergerac, Nice, Florence, Olbia and Majorca. The routes had been planned as weekend services for the summer season, but have now disappeared from BA's 2027 flight schedule.

The cuts will be carried out by BA CityFlyer, the airline's regional arm, which operates short-haul flights around the UK and Europe. 

Tickets for the remaining Stansted services will be available until spring 2027, after which the aircraft will be reassigned to other parts of the network.

Florence faces a particular loss, as BA's departure will leave Stansted without a direct connection to the Italian city during the summer. 

Flights will continue over the winter before the route is discontinued.

Ryanair, Jet2 and TUI retain flights to destinations dropped by BA

There will still be other ways to reach the remaining destinations. Ryanair is planning up to five flights a week to Bergerac, while both Ryanair and Jet2 are due to operate twice-weekly services to Olbia. 

Ryanair, Jet2 and TUI will continue flying to Palma de Mallorca, and Nice will remain accessible through Ryanair's daily departures.

A British Airways spokesperson said the company had decided to stop its BA CityFlyer weekend flights from Stansted after the 2026/27 ski season, following a review of its network.

“We regularly review where we deploy our aircraft to best meet customer demand and will invest this capacity elsewhere across our network,” they said.

The move will bring BA CityFlyer's presence at Stansted to an end, but the airline will maintain its wider operations from London City Airport. 

Its services from that base cover more than 20 destinations, while its winter schedule from Stansted currently includes Florence, Chambéry and Geneva.
