British Airways is expanding its European network ahead of the 2027 summer season, adding destinations in Norway, France, and Croatia, alongside changes to several existing services.
Summer Network Expanded
British Airways (BA) has announced additions to its services ahead of Summer 2027, with new services from London Heathrow (LHR), Glasgow (GLA), and Edinburgh (EDI), designed to strengthen the airline’s European network.
One of the additions is a new seasonal route between London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and Bergen Flesland Airport (BGO) in Norway. The service will operate five times a week between April 15, and Oct. 30, 2027.
British Airways has said that flight times have been optimised to promote and support onward connections from Bergen to popular U.S. destinations such as New York, Boston, Miami, and Chicago.
Scottish travellers will gain access to two new seasonal destinations. A service between Glasgow Airport (GLA) and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE), operating from May 15, to Oct. 3, 2027.
This will mark the first direct connection between the busy Scottish city and the French Riviera, which will provide an attractive option for passengers flying from Glasgow looking to visit southern France over the summer.
British Airways’ third new route will see flights between Edinburgh and Split, Croatia operated once a week as a seasonal service. Between May. 15 and Jun. 19 and again between Sept. 4 and Oct. 2, BA will operate a direct flight from EDI to Split Saint Jerome Airport (SPU).
Both services departing Scottish airports will be operated by BA Cityflyer, a regional subsidiary airline owned by British Airways.
Further Airport Changes Made to British Airways’ Summer Season
Following changes to its Winter schedule, British Airways has confirmed it will also implement changes to its summer schedule for 2027. This will affect the departure airport of some of BA’s most popular holiday routes.
British Airways’ service to Skiathos, Greece will depart from LHR’s Terminal 5 instead of London City Airport (LCY). The service is scheduled to operate between May 20 and Sept. 11 on a triweekly basis.
Alternatively, BA flights to Perugia, Italy will be moved from London Heathrow Airport to London City Airport. This route will be in operation five times per week between May 1 and Sept. 28.
These changes have been made with customer demand and schedule optimisation in mind. This will help the airline’s customers remain well-connected to other services in its network.
Passengers with existing bookings for these services should take care to carefully check the departure terminals listed on their bookings to ensure they are certain of where their flight will depart from.
