After a first summer of operations, this week marked an important milestone for BA Euroflyer as the airline, a subsidiary of British Airways, received its Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and Operating License from the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
BA Euroflyer operates similarly to the airline’s existing subsidiary, BA Cityflyer, flying under the British Airways brand.

The issuance of an individual Air Operator’s Certificate and Operating License allows the airline to begin transitioning aircraft and crews to its wholly owned subsidiary, which is based at London-Gatwick.
British Airways launched BA Euroflyer on March 29, 2022, when the airline began operating under the British Airways Air Operator’s Certificate. The launch of the new subsidiary marked the return of short-haul international flights from London-Gatwick following the Covid-19 pandemic.
Over the next six months, ten Airbus A320s and nine A321s will gradually transition from British Airways to BA Euroflyer.
The airline plans to operate from London-Gatwick to more than 30 destinations by summer 2023, including Bari, Dubrovnik and Seville.
