British Airways is expanding its European network for summer 2027, adding a new route to Norway, introducing two Mediterranean connections from Scotland and moving two existing services between London airports.

The airline will launch flights from London Heathrow to Bergen, Norway, from April 15, 2027, operating five times weekly until October 30. The new connection is designed to attract travelers visiting Norway's fjords and western coastline, while also providing onward connections through Heathrow to major destinations in the United States.

The flight schedule has been arranged to support connections to cities including New York, Boston, Miami and Chicago. The service will operate from Heathrow Terminal 3.

The expansion also includes changes to British Airways' London network. Flights to the Greek island of Skiathos will move from London City Airport to Heathrow Terminal 5, while the existing Perugia route in Italy will transfer in the opposite direction, from Heathrow to London City.

The Skiathos service will operate three times weekly between May 20 and September 11, 2027, giving the airline additional capacity on the popular summer route. Perugia flights will operate up to five times weekly from May 1 through September 28, with the schedule varying during the season.

Two New Routes From Scotland

British Airways subsidiary BA Cityflyer will introduce two additional seasonal services from Scotland, giving passengers direct access to the French Riviera and Croatia's Adriatic coast.

A new Glasgow-Nice service will operate once a week from May 15 to October 3, 2027. Flights will depart Glasgow on Sundays, with the return service from Nice operating on Saturdays.

From Edinburgh, passengers will be able to fly directly to Split, Croatia. The weekly Saturday service will operate from May 15 to June 19 and return for a second period between September 4 and October 2, 2027.

The additions follow recent refurbishments of British Airways lounges in Glasgow and Edinburgh, which introduced updated food and drink offerings featuring Scottish products and local suppliers.

Neil Chernoff, British Airways' Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, said the new routes and airport changes would give customers more options for exploring European destinations during the summer season.
