From Reuters:-

British Airways is adding new services and increasing frequencies on other routes this summer at London City Airport. In total the airline will offer 39 flights per week to top sun destinations at the height of summer.

Two new routes will operate to Malaga and Faro in June, while the airline will increase frequency to the popular destinations of Nice, Palma and Ibiza.

The four-times-a-week flights to Faro start on June 7 and the three-times-a-week flights to Malaga start on June 8. Both routes will operate year round.

The existing London City to Nice service will increase to double daily flights from May until September, and from July to September both Palma and Ibiza flights will be increased from four to 10 a week.

Flights are operated by wholly owned British Airways’ subsidiary BA CityFlyer, on the new Embraer 170 and 190 aircraft.

Luke Hayhoe, BA CityFlyer commercial manager said: “We first launched leisure only flights from London City last year in direct response to demand from our customers. They proved so popular, particularly during the summer months, that we have decided to expand them further this year.

“The addition of two extra aircraft to the fleet means we can also offer year round services to the summer and winter sun destinations of Malaga and Faro.”
 
Checked out the prices in the hope they could be on par or close to Easyjet from Gatwick, but they still end up about £100 dearer PP for summer flights! But its good that they are at least expanding options.
