Skiathos will move to Heathrow whilst Perugia will move to London City
British Airways’ subsidiary, BA Cityflyer, announces new routes from Glasgow to Nice and Edinburgh to Split
The UK’s flag carrier recently unveiled refurbished lounges in Glasgow and Edinburgh
As winter approaches and thoughts turn to sunnier days ahead, British Airways is expanding its European network for summer 2027 with new routes and hub moves, giving customers even more choice for their next getaway.
The airline will launch new services from London Heathrow to Bergen, while its existing Perugia route will transfer to London City with increased frequencies, and Skiathos will move to Heathrow.
British Airways’ subsidiary, BA Cityflyer, will also introduce new weekly services from Glasgow to Nice and Edinburgh to Split, further strengthening its Scottish network.
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, said: “We’re delighted to be expanding our European network with new routes and convenient airport moves, offering customers even more ways to explore some of Europe’s most exciting destinations.
‘From Norway’s spectacular fjords and the beaches of Skiathos to the rolling countryside of Umbria, the glamour of the French Riviera and Croatia’s stunning Adriatic coast, these additions provide greater choice and connectivity for customers planning their next summer trip.”
Bergen, Norway
British Airways has announced a new route from London Heathrow to Bergen, giving customers the opportunity to discover Norway’s dramatic fjords, colourful waterfronts and spectacular natural landscapes. As Norway’s second-largest city, Bergen serves as the gateway to some of the country’s most breathtaking scenery, offering visitors a blend of outdoor adventure and rich culture.
Research shows Bergen is experiencing strong international demand, with traffic from North America increasing despite having no direct transatlantic services.* Flight times have been optimised to support onward connections via Heathrow to key US destinations including New York, Boston, Miami and Chicago. British Airways will operate five flights per week between London Heathrow Terminal 3 and Bergen from 15 April to 30 October 2027.
British Airways recently announced a new check-in experience for First customers, developed in collaboration with American Airlines, at Heathrow Terminal 3.
Scotland routes
From Scotland, customers will benefit from two new Mediterranean routes operated by BA Cityflyer.
New flights from Glasgow to Nice will provide a direct link to the French Riviera, operating once a week from 15 May to 3 October 2027. Customers in Edinburgh will also be able to enjoy direct flights to Split on Croatia’s stunning Dalmatian Coast, operating once a week from 15 May to 19 June 2027 and again from 4 September to 2 October 2027.
Together, the new routes further strengthen British Airways’ short-haul network, offering customers in Scotland more opportunities to reach some of Europe’s most popular summer destinations.
This follows recent lounge refurbishments in Glasgow and Edinburgh, where customers can enjoy a refreshed food and drink offering featuring Scottish produce, local suppliers and dedicated whisky displays.
Airport moves
British Airways is also making changes to its London network for summer 2027, with Skiathos moving from London City Airport to London Heathrow Terminal 5 and Perugia transferring from Heathrow to London City Airport.
Services to Skiathos will operate three times per week from 20 May to 11 September 2027, while Perugia will operate five times per week from 1 May to 28 September 2027.
The changes will better align capacity and connectivity with customer demand. The move to Heathrow Terminal 5 will provide greater capacity on the Skiathos route, alongside access to British Airways’ extensive global network, while Perugia will benefit from services operating from the conveniently located London City Airport.
