British Airways is to launch twice-weekly flights
to both Jersey and Gibraltar from London City Airport.
The two new routes will both operate on Mondays and
Fridays using Embraer E190 aircraft and will launch on 25 June 2021. One-way fares start from £42 to Jersey and £43 to
Gibraltar.
Gibraltar’s minister for business, tourism, transport
and the port, the Hon Vijay Daryanani MP, said: “This service will complement
BA’s mainline services from Heathrow and the local business and financial
services community will undoubtedly welcome a link to London’s financial
district.”
Matt Thomas, Ports of Jersey CEO, said: “We
understand the importance of connectivity to London’s financial centre, as well
as for Islanders wanting easy access to central London, or to take advantage of
the many onward connections available.”
