BRITISH AIRWAYS has returned to Malaga airport after 10 years. The company, which had been one of the most prominent, left flights between Malaga and London, which ran three times a day, to franchise company, GB Airways, in 1997. However, this company was bought by Easyjet late last year, leaving British Airways with no-one to represent them in one of the most strategic points of Europe, the Costa del Sol.
In a few months, BA has managed to get back the slots which belonged to GB Airways and, since March, have been operating the Malaga to London flights under their own name.
British Airways offers two daily flights to Gatwick (one at 7:35am and one at 1:10pm) and one to Heathrow (at 8:20pm), although they are hoping to improve the times of the flights.
The daily flights have an average occupation level of 80 per cent,
with some 720 passengers per day. British Airways is also present in Palma de Mallorca, Alicante, Gibraltar, Ibiza,
Madrid, Barcelona and Faro (Portugal). New routes will be established from Valencia and Oporto this winter.
