A major airline has axed all flights from a popular UK airport from spring 2027.

British Airways has said it is cutting all flights coming to and from London Stansted after April 2027.

BA CityFlyer services will no longer be available after spring next year with customers still able to book flights until April.

British Airways will no longer be flying from the major airport, according to The Sun.

The airline has been at London Stansted over the last decade but is pulling out of its hub there.

BA CityFlyer is a subsidiary owned by British Airways that has short-haul routes to and from the UK to a range of destinations including Dublin, Ibiza, and Amsterdam.

British Airways said: “We continually review our network and will no longer operate BA CityFlyer weekend services from London Stansted following the end of the 2026/27 ski season.

“Customers can continue to book and travel on BA CityFlyer Stansted services until 11 April 2027.

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

All five of the routes that were set up to fly from London Stansted during the weekends over the summer have been removed for 2027.

These routes included flights to Nice, Florence, Olbia, Majorca, and Bergerac.

This means there will be no direct routes from London Stansted to Florence next summer.

There are a few alternative airlines you can fly with to the four other spots for the 2027 summer season.

Ryanair has five flights a week to Bergerac and it also has flights to Olbia in Italy.

You can also fly to Olbia using Jet2.

Ryanair, Jet2, and TUI will have flights from London Stansted to Palma de Mallorca.

There are also daily flights to Nice using Ryanair.
