British Airways adds new summer flights for Europe

Thursday, May 13, 2021

British Airways has added new services to holiday destinations for the month of June and July following the announcement that Britons are likely to be able to get a summer holiday this year. The carrier said the new services are in response to overwhelming interest from its customers on its website.

The 26 additional weekly frequencies will include destinations across Greece, the Canary Islands and Turkey to popular holiday hot spots including Corfu, Kos, Paphos, Rhodes, Lanzarote, Tenerife and Bodrum. The newly established British Airways flights to Greece and the Canary Islands will be available to book from this week for travel between June 21 and September 5. Bodrum in Turkey will also be available to fly to from July 18.

However, Turkey is currently on the red list for travellers from England, meaning all returning visitors will have to undergo ten days of mandatory hotel quarantine. British Airways is currently flying to 27 short-haul destinations, including 112 holiday hotspots for the peak of the summer period. Neil Chernoff, Director of Networks and Alliances, British Airways said in a statement that it is clear Britons are hoping that their favourite destinations will be open by the time summer comes.

He mentioned that the carrier wants to provide the Brits with access to book seats to the places they love, to help them get away and trust that if they cannot travel, the airline will be there for them with incredible flexibility to make changes to their bookings.
