BA will operate from both airports to Milan Linate, with flights from London City starting on April 24 and Stansted on April 29. There will be two flights a day on weekdays and one a day at weekends from London City plus two a week from Stansted. All flights will be year-round.
Luke Hayhoe, BA’s general manager customer and commercial, said: “Milan is a very exciting route for us as it will appeal to both business and leisure customers. The new services gives the choice of two alternative London airports with well-timed flights to Linate, which is Milan’s most convenient airport.”
Earlier this month BA announced new summer-only routes from London City to Skiathos and to Manchester, which together with Milan means BA will run flights to 30 destinations from the Docklands airport this summer.
At Stansted, BA is launching three new destinations, including Florence, and increasing frequency on some existing routes. The new service to Milan will be the airline’s ninth route there this summer.
