British Airways has cancelled all its flights from Southampton Airport next summer.

The airline has been running weekend flights from the airport to Dublin, Malaga, Majorca, Bergerac and Faro during the summer months.

It did not explain why the flights – run by BA’s subsidiary, BA City Flyer – were being scrapped.

The airline said in a statement: ‘We are suspending our summer 2025 operations from Southampton Airport and contacting any affected customers with options including rebooking on an alternative flight with us or another airline or a full refund.’

A spokesperson from Southampton Airport, meanwhile, said it is ‘disappointing when any route is removed’, but added, ‘we are in constant dialogue with airlines regarding the introduction of new services and that includes backfilling the routes withdrawn by British Airways.’

Last year, the airport unveiled its extended runway, which it said was critical for handling a wider variety of aircraft.

And earlier this year, its terminal was ranked as the second best in the country by luggage storage company, Bounce.

Using data from Which?, the firm looked at queues at check-in, bag drop, security and passport control, as well as efficiency of baggage reclaim, available seating, number of staff, the range of shops and their prices, and how many toilets there were.
