British Airways will launch three European routes for summer 2027, linking London Heathrow with Bergen, Glasgow with Nice and Edinburgh with Split. The airline announced the changes on 10 November alongside plans to switch London airports for two existing services. Flights to the Greek island of Skiathos will move to Heathrow, while those to Perugia in Italy will depart from London City.
The Bergen service will be the first to launch, on 15 April. British Airways will fly from Heathrow Terminal 3 five days a week until 30 October, with departures on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Flights are scheduled to arrive in the Norwegian city before noon on all five days.
Bergen, Norway’s second-largest city, is a starting point for trips to the fjords of western Norway. Its airport handled 6.5 million passengers in 2025, with international traffic accounting for 41% of the total, according to Norwegian airport operator Avinor. British Airways said traffic from North America has grown despite the absence of direct transatlantic flights to Bergen. It has timed the return flights to connect at Heathrow with services to New York, Boston, Miami and Chicago.
In Scotland, British Airways subsidiary BA Cityflyer will operate both new Mediterranean routes once a week. Travellers from Glasgow will be able to fly to the French Riviera on Sunday mornings from 16 May to 3 October, arriving in Nice at 10:55. Flights in the opposite direction will leave Nice on Saturdays at 13:00, starting on 15 May.
Edinburgh’s service to Split, on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, will run on Saturdays in two periods. The first begins on 15 May and ends on 19 June. Flights then resume on 4 September and continue until 2 October, leaving a gap in July and August.
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ chief planning and strategy officer, said the changes would provide “greater choice and connectivity for customers planning their next summer trip.”
The move from London City to Heathrow Terminal 5 will allow British Airways to offer more seats to Skiathos and give passengers access to onward connections. Flights will operate on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 20 May to 11 September.
Perugia, in the Italian region of Umbria, will gain more frequent flights when the service transfers from Heathrow to London City. Saturday flights begin on 1 May. From 21 May, the airline will add departures on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, bringing the route to five flights a week. The season ends on 28 September.
