British Airways Celebrates 25 Years at London City Airport
British Airways has celebrated its 25th anniversary of operations at London City Airport.
London City Airport is located in the waterfront area of East London. It is close to the Canary Wharf, a newly developed business district, and has operational restrictions such as its runway length of approximately 1,500 meters, only allowing services to major cities in Europe.
British Airways began its City Airport service on November 5, 1999, when British Regional Airlines, a franchise partner of British Airways based in Manchester, started flying three round trips on weekdays from Sheffield. The compact airport, with a check-in to gate time of just 20 minutes, is popular among business travelers and has served over 27 million passengers to date.
Currently, the airport is a base for BA CityFlyer, a subsidiary that has been operating since 2007, flying to 26 cities with Embraer aircraft. Edinburgh is the most served destination, and the farthest city reached is Mykonos.
To commemorate the 25th anniversary, a campaign offering a 25% discount on flights to destinations like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Nice is being launched.
