Stansted route network rises to almost 200 for summer

British Airways is adding a service from Stansted to Bergerac following its return to the airport last year with flights to Nice, Ibiza and Florence.

The destination in southwest France is to be served from June as part of an extended range of new airline routes from the Essex airport this summer.

Ryanair is resuming flights to the German port city of Lubeck in addition to new routes to Munster in April and Clermont-Ferrand  – last served from the airport in pre-pandemic 2019 – in March.

SunExpress is introducing a route to Kayseri, the gateway to Turkey’s Cappadocia region.

Other additions, which have previously been flagged, include Jet2 to Pula and Bergen and Transavia to Rotterdam.

Airport aviation director Simon Gorrighan said: “London Stansted serves more European destinations than any other UK airport, and these new services will further strengthen our route network, which now covers almost 200 destinations across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.”
