(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, 2025-Jul-11 — /Travel PR News/ — British Airways is enhancing its European short-haul network with three exciting new routes for winter 2025. BA Euroflyer—BA’s Gatwick-based subsidiary—will introduce year-round flights from London Gatwick to Rabat (Morocco) and Graz (Austria). Meanwhile, BA Cityflyer—operating from London City Airport—will add 11 weekly rotations to Madrid, complementing its existing Heathrow service.
Rabat, Morocco
Launching 5 November 2025, BA Euroflyer’s twice-weekly Gatwick–Rabat service (Wednesdays and Sundays) on Airbus A320 will join Marrakech and Agadir as British Airways’ third Moroccan destination. Rabat’s rich heritage, year-round sunshine, and recent tourism boom—1.3 million additional visitors versus last year, a 68 percent rise on pre-pandemic levels—make it an ideal escape. Fares start from £70 one-way, taxes and fees included.
Graz, Austria
From 21 November 2025, three Gatwick–Graz flights per week (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays) on A320s will link London directly with Austria’s second city for the first time. Graz, famed for its Christmas markets and summer outdoor pursuits—and riding the wave of Austria’s Eurovision victory—offers year-round city-break appeal. Tickets begin at £60 one-way, inclusive of taxes and fees.
Madrid, Spain
Starting 1 December 2025, BA Cityflyer will operate 11 weekly London City–Madrid flights, raising the total to 44 services per week when combined with Heathrow. Schedules have been tweaked to streamline connections onward to key South American gateways such as Bogotá, Montevideo, and Lima. Fares from London City begin at £78 one-way, including taxes and fees.
All flights feature a Club Europe option—providing enhanced legroom, a full meal and bar service, extra baggage allowance, and lounge access for BA Euroflyer passengers at the newly refurbished Gatwick Club lounge. Bookings are open now at www.ba.com.
