British Airways will introduce a new limited one weekly service between London Stansted Airport and Split in September. Flights will be maintained weekly, on Saturdays, starting September 7 and ending October 5. The service will be operated by BA CityFlyer’s Embraer E190 aircraft which has the capacity to seat 106 passengers. This summer, British Airways has been operating seasonal flights from both London Heathrow and London City airports to Croatia’s second largest city. The London City service will end on September 2, while London Heathrow will run until the end of the summer season, on October 26, almost a month longer than last year when flights ended on September 30. Further details for the new London Stansted - Split service can be found here.
What an odd one, I thought they use E190 exclusively to LCY?
ReplyDeleteThey use them in Southampton and Belfast-City as well. This one is certainly unusual, though, maybe issue with slots
DeleteEmbraer is a great choice of aircraft for Split
DeleteMethinks that an agency has bought 50+% of seats, and others will be on a free market. That's BAs smallest plane so it's most probably a regular charter turned into a scheduled line
DeleteMakes sense
DeleteAll these comments are clueless. British Airways literally has a base in Stansted, Southampton, Edinburgh and I think even Dusseldorf crew are from Dusseldorf
DeleteEducate yourself first before posting deprecating comments. BA doesn't have a Stansted base (they only run seasonal flights to the Mediterranean and one-way to Amsterdam due to City slot restrictions. They no longer have a Dusseldorf base either. Out of Edinburgh, they only operate seasonal w-rotations, all of the E190s used there are based in London-City. The only base they have outside of London is Billund as part of Sun-Air, which only operates 4 routes atm afaik
DeleteAs LCY is closed during weekends, they use that capacity on other airports including STN for utilization
DeleteAfaik isn't Amsterdam the only route that redirects from LCY? Or did they add any new ones
Delete@12:50 Strong tone, completely wrong facts. I hope it felt good for you to write that comment with such blissful ignorance. Stansted is a base on the weekends. Edinburgh is also a base. What W-rotations are you talking about? Aircraft fly from Edinburgh to all sorts of destinations and spend two nights there on the weekends. Don't you have FlightRadar to fact-check your comments?
DeleteCityflyer only have a base in LCY. They nightstop in SOU and STN at weekends and overnight crew in local hotels as a way of still keeping the fleet flying during the LCY weekend enforced closedown.
DeleteWould be great for Split to get new year-round E190 service. That includes regional airlines.
ReplyDeleteThey are testing the market out of STN. If successful flights will continue next yaer
DeleteNobody in their right mind can convince me that Ljubljana wouldn't work 4times weekly with E190 during the winter
ReplyDeleteBritish Airways also flies with Embraer aircraft to Zadar once a week all summer from Jersey, but these are charters.
ReplyDeleteBritish Aiways do not, it is Cityflyer which is a different company completely
DeleteOwned 100% by IAG regardless
DeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteI am very happy that they extended the season this year because I am flying to Split on 25 October from Heathrow. Finally I don't have to use easyJet anymore from Gatwick!
ReplyDeleteEveryone wants to visit beautiful Dalmatia.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous!
