British Airways has removed five summer 2027 routes from London Stansted Airport, operated by its regional subsidiary BA CityFlyer. The affected destinations include Bergerac, Florence, Nice, Olbia, and Palma de Mallorca.

The airline has not confirmed the reason for the cuts, though the low frequency of BA CityFlyer's services may have contributed to the decision. Winter operations from Stansted remain unchanged, with flights to Chambéry, Florence, and Geneva.

In contrast, the airline is expanding its network for summer 2027, adding routes from Edinburgh to Split, London City to Perugia, and Glasgow to Nice. Additionally, the airline plans to launch eight new Boeing 787 routes from Heathrow this winter, some for the first time.

BA CityFlyer continues to operate from other UK airports, including London City, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Belfast. The airline's summer 2027 expansion includes new services to Split, Perugia, and Nice, with increased frequencies on some routes.

The Edinburgh-Split service operates weekly Saturday flights from May 15 to June 19 and again from September 4 to October 2.
