HARMONDSWORTH, England,
June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
British Airways is bringing a bit of winter sunshine to London
City Airport by extending its popular Palma and Ibiza flights to a
year-round service.
At present the two Balearic Island destinations are summer-only
but from October they will continue through the winter with two
flights a week on Thursdays and Sundays.
The news will come as a welcome boost to Ibiza since the island
does not currently have a single direct service to the UK during
the winter.
The two islands are very popular with leisure customers through
the summer and now winter sun seekers and second home owners have
the chance to fly there in style throughout the year. Holidays in
Ibiza offer something for everyone. Away from the lively nightlife
hotspots, the island harbours secluded coves, family resorts,
pine-scented hills and vibrant Catalan culture. The glamorous Ibiza Town
is another draw full of ancient sites and party venues.
Luke Hayhoe, general manager
commercial, BA CityFlyer, said: "Leisure flying is a really
important part of our business now from London City. Winter sun breaks are a very
popular market and with London
City's unique 20 minute check-in time with luggage customers can
leave the gloom of winter and be in the sun in less than three
hours."
The news follows the launch of new flights to Mahon in Menorca
for summer 2012 which completes the airline's Balearic Islands
portfolio. As the airline continues to grow its network customers
have more choice to more business and leisure destinations, flying
on one of the youngest aircraft fleets in the business.
British Airways offers all-inclusive fares to all destinations,
which include a generous free 23kg luggage allowance, free on-line
check-in and seat selection 24 hours before departure and
complimentary food and drink on board.
New low all-inclusive one-way fares for winter and great value
holiday packages are now available on ba.com
