“We go back to Cyprus for holidays and to visit friends and family every year so it’s great to have more flights to choose from.”

Peter Simpson, British Airways’ director at Gatwick, said: “We’re delighted to launch yet another great leisure route for our customers.

“As well as extra flights to the Mediterranean favourite Cyprus we have also started flying to Alicante, Barcelona, Tenerife, Lanzarote and Sri Lanka this year, offering holidaymakers an even greater choice of where to head to this summer.”
