BA operate one route from London City to New York.
All other routes are operated by BA Cityflyer, a wholly owned subsidiary, which operates independantly of the mother company.

Quoting richardw (Reply 9): CJ do charters at weekends to AGP and CAG but not from LCY, is this the best utilisation for their aircraft during the LCY weekend closure period?
Yea, it makes money when the aircraft would normally be grounded. The weekend closer also mean flights can go to GLA for their maintenance with out interrupting the schedule if needed.

So LCY shuts on Saturdays and Sundays? Weird.
I think a LIS-LCY would do well, especially since now BA have a terrible schedule to LHR from LIS - two early morning flights then an 8 hour gap until the evening departure.

LisbonBearUK
Licence suspended from 13.00 Saturday to 12.30 Sunday
Route profile is almost totally based around needs of the CIty Financial Services industry sector so its Frankfurt/Paris/Geneva/Zurich and Isle of Man .........
Plus Antwerp/Rotterdam for diamond trading.
With just few select end of week vacation routes thrown in, all for banker to get to their Gites/Villas in summer or to the Ski hut in winter.
Within the context of the Iberian Peninsular is would see Bilbao/Santander a probability and perhaps Porto (Viable leisure and alcohol industry contacts) before Lisbon

Quoting LisbonBearUK (Reply 14): I'll eat my hat if BA ever fly to SDR....though it has given me a chuckle this wet Sunday morning
Why do you think i said Bilbao first (BA have flown here in the past).
Santander is small and bleak , but for being the HQ of one of the UKs largest retail banking groups, yet Bilbao is only a few tens of miles away and an important City in and of its self.

Quoting Edina (Reply 3): All routes are operated by E170s or E190s, apart from the JFK.
So, the Avro 100 are all retired?
Quoting LisbonBearUK (Reply 14): I'll eat my hat if BA ever fly to SDR....though it has given me a chuckle this wet Sunday morning
Why not?
Santander is a very busy city near from Bilbao and with high demand in both air and sea ways: don't forget the three times a week the ship from Plymouth to Santander.
Add to the comments of rutankrd: one of the largest UK banks is controlled by Banco Santander...
Let's wait and see...

Of course you do: you are always hugely 'supportive' of LIS. What proof - figures would be fine, with a source linked - can you provide of a sufficiently significiant business component on LIS-LON-LIS to justify a LCY service?

Quoting AIR MALTA (Reply 19): But I could see JER & LIN working well for BA.
LCY - JER was flown by Flybe using Dash 8 200/300 ten years ago but there was insufficient traffic for their current smallest aircraft, Q400s. The route has until more recently been flown by VLM with F50s.
I was once told that part of the reason that LCY shut on the weekend was because its very close to multi-million pound homes.
Fares from London City used to be (might still be) more expensive that LHR or LGW as it was marketed towards the business market rather than leisure travellers. As they don't tend to travel on a weekend well that sort of adds another reason not to open on Saturday afternoons/Sunday mornings.

27 Talaier: Banco Santader might have it's legal HQ in Santander but it's operational HQ is in Madrid. i.e. BotÃn sits in the financial complex in the outskirts

29 GlobalCabotage: Maybe we will see more US service in the next few years. "Cornerstone" high yield traffic to MIA and ORD could work from LCY.
30 PlymSpotter: Maybe someone can confirm this, but I seem to remember the F70 was weight restricted out of LCY, quite badly when it was hot, and 800 miles on a Q400
