NETWORK STRATEGY

Primarily BA Cityflyer operates business routes from its base at London City Airport with scheduled international routes to markets such as Frankfurt and Zurich which are operated with high frequency, whilst feeding domestic destinations into London City, located at the heart of London's financial district with services from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Shannon. BA Cityflyer also operates services to Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Billund.

There has been a certain shift of strategy in recent times by Cityflyer with a venture into some leisure markets such as Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca which it operates with E190 equipment, whilst also operating both of its Embraer aircraft type to Madrid, Barcelona and Nice.
