BA Euroflyer is the new subsidiary company that operates continental flights from London’s Gatwick airport with a fleet of Airbus A320s. Let’s find out which destinations will be added to the British Airways network in 2023 and with which schedule they will operate.

The New British Airways European Flights in 2023

BA will connect 5 new destinations to Gatwick airport in the south of London with a total of 18 weekly frequencies. However initially these will be only seasonal services. Simply because they are summer or winter holiday focused destinations such as:

  • Montpellier (MPL) – France
  • Corfu (CFU) – Greece
  • Mykonos (JMK) – Greece
  • Salzburg (SZG) – Austria
  • Innsbruck (INN) – Austria

The first 4 destinations of the list will be summer seasonal connections from Gatwick, while Innsbruck will be a winter one. These flights further integrate the BA flights offered from London City and Heathrow Airports.
