British Airways Euroflyer (BA Euroflyer) is a British airline. A subsidiary of British Airways, it operates a network of short haul services from its base at Gatwick Airport near London, England. All services operate with BA's full colours, titles and flight numbers.
History
[edit source]By early 2020, British Airways operated flights to over 50 destinations from its secondary hub at Gatwick Airport. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, British Airways suspended operations at Gatwick and consolidated all of its operations at Heathrow Airport.[1] In 2021, in an attempt to reduce operating costs to better compete with low-cost carriers such as easyJet,[2] British Airways announced its intention to establish a short-haul standalone business at Gatwick from 2022, similar to its BA CityFlyer operation from London City Airport, which operates under the British Airways name but exists as a separate entity.[3]
BA Euroflyer commenced operations in March 2022, with flights being operated by mainline BA until the airline received its Air Operators Certificate in December 2022.[3][4] BA Euroflyer Limited holds a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence, meaning that it is permitted to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.[citation needed] The airline then intended to operate a fleet of 19 Airbus A320 family aircraft to 40 destinations across Europe, North Africa and Western Asia from March 2023.[citation needed]
Destinations
[edit source]BA Euroflyer operates over 40 destinations from its base at London Gatwick Airport on behalf of its parent company British Airways.[5]
