BA to expand City Airport

On 14 March 2007, British Airways announced it would soon be making additions to its sites in the City Airport, in London's Docklands. The airline, which has had offices in City Airport since 2003, will soon increase its services out of the centrally located airport by 70 per cent.

City Airport opened in 1987 and is used mostly by business passengers and executives travelling internally or on short flights to Europe and in the winter for vacationers heading to the Swiss ski resorts.

CityFlyer, a subsidiary of BA, has its hub at City Airport and provides flights domestically and to several European destinations including Germany, Spain, Italy and Switzerland.

With the new expansion, CityFlyer will take on an additional 250 flights a week including eight daily flights to Edinburgh and create daily four flights on a new direct route to Glasgow. CityFlyer also announced that it would be flying to a new European city:  Zurich. The expansion will bring an estimated total of 650,000 BA customers through City Airport each year.

Although CityFlyer managing director Peter Simpson said they had plans to expand again in City Airport next year, he added that CityFlyer would not be taking on their competitor, VLM, on flights in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.
