Flights into heart of London

British Airways is to start flying into the heart of London’s financial district later this month with the introduction of direct flights from Dublin to London City Airport.

From October 26, the airline will offer a five-a-day service from Dublin to London City Airport using a mix of Embraer 170 and 190 jets.

It said an early-morning departure time from Dublin will mean customers can do a full day’s business in London as well as facilitating connections on to the airline’s 26 domestic, European and international destinations from the Docklands Airport.
