A new route connecting Glasgow and the French Riviera city of Nice is set to be launched from next May. The BA Cityflyer route will commence on 16 May 2027 and operate weekly until 3 October 2027, providing Scottish travellers with direct access to one of Europe's most iconic holiday destinations.

The service marks the first direct connection between Glasgow Airport and Nice and further strengthens BA Cityflyer's leisure offering from Glasgow, alongside its seasonal services to Palma and San Sebastián, both of which will return in summer 2027.

Located on France's Mediterranean coast, Nice is renowned for its stunning beaches, vibrant Old Town, world-class cuisine and easy access to the wider Côte d'Azur region, including destinations such as Cannes, Monaco and Antibes.

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.”
