BA Cityflyer launches new direct Glasgow – Nice Summer route

BA Cityflyer will introduce new Glasgow – Nice flights in Summer 2027, establishing the first direct connection between the two cities. The new weekly service will launch on 16 May 2027. It will operate until 3 October 2027, giving Scottish travellers direct access to the French Riviera.

Glasgow Airport and BA Cityflyer, the wholly owned subsidiary of British Airways, are celebrating the launch. The new route strengthens the airline’s leisure offering from Glasgow. Furthermore, it expands the choice of European summer destinations available to passengers.

New direct connection to the French Riviera

The seasonal service marks the first direct connection between Glasgow Airport and Nice. Consequently, travellers from Scotland will gain easier access to one of Europe’s best-known holiday destinations.

Located on France’s Mediterranean coast, Nice attracts visitors with its beaches, vibrant Old Town and renowned cuisine. Moreover, the city provides convenient access to the wider Côte d’Azur region. Popular destinations nearby include Cannes, Monaco and Antibes.

The new Glasgow Nice flights will complement BA Cityflyer’s existing seasonal services from Glasgow. The airline will also bring back its routes to Palma and San Sebastián in summer 2027.

BA Cityflyer and Glasgow Airport welcome the expansion

Ian Romanis, Managing Director of BA Cityflyer, said: “We’re delighted to be launching a new direct service from Glasgow to Nice, giving customers in Scotland even more choice when planning their summer getaways. From the beaches and restaurants of the French Riviera to the culture and charm of Nice itself, we’re looking forward to connecting customers with one of Europe’s most iconic destinations.”
