British Airways CityFlyer has recently announced two new routes for Glasgow Airport, with the airline also introducing an exclusive route for the airline from the city.
The airline has announced two new Spanish routes, with Palma de Mallorca and San Sebastian joining the airlines route portfolio from the airport, both routes will be served by the airlines E190 aircraft with 106 seats.
Flights to Palma de Mallorca commence on May 9th 2026 with a weekly Saturday service operating until October 24th.
- BA2341 will depart Glasgow at 1415 arriving into Palma at 1825
- BA2340 will depart Palma at 1915 arriving back into Glasgow at 2125
This new route will add 52 movements (26 round trips) and 5,512 seats to the Palma market, and for those looking for a premium option, BA CityFlyer will be the only airline on this route offering a Business Class cabin thanks to the airlines “Club Europe” cabin.
Speaking on the announcement of this route last month, Chris Tibbett, Aero Director at AGS Airports said:
“We’re delighted to welcome BA Cityflyer’s new seasonal service from Glasgow to Palma de Mallorca, launching in May 2026. This exciting addition to our summer schedule not only strengthens Glasgow Airport’s short-haul network but also offers our passengers more choice when planning their holidays. Palma is a hugely popular destination, and this new route will provide a convenient and high-quality travel option for Scottish holidaymakers.
“With no middle seats and a complimentary drink and snack for all passengers, this will be a popular way to start a holiday in style. We expect this service to be especially popular amongst loyal BA customers looking to redeem their Avios. We look forward to working closely with BA CityFlyer to ensure the success of this new route.”
