British Airways Returns to Stansted in Summer 2024

Business Class (17)

Stansted

Last Updated: 20 Feb 2024

Big news for air travellers in north-east London: British Airways is making a comeback to London Stansted Airport in the summer of 2024. For passengers accustomed to the north-east London area, this means more choices, more convenience, more BA reward flight options, and the opportunity to experience British Airways' renowned service without the need to travel to other London airports. The development brings more flexibility to both leisure and business travellers with a range of options for flying in and out of the capital.

 

 

The Background

This announcement marks the airline's first scheduled service from Stansted since the pandemic, indicating a strong signal of recovery and growth. With the reintroduction of services at Stansted, the airport becomes the fourth London hub to be graced by the flag carrier, joining Heathrow, Gatwick, and London City Airport. For the airport, BA’s return improves its stature within London's network of airports.

Kicking off the summer schedule on the 18th of May 2024, BA will reconnect Stansted with three major European cities: Florence, Ibiza, and Nice. These flights will be operated by BA Cityflyer on its Embraer 190 aircraft.
